Default Woman eating cat food

Let me know if this has already been covered.
I was trying to find the Tyra Banks "Vaseline" thing, and I found this:

I think what I really want to know is whether or not this was supposed to be funny...? I mean, it's creepy regardless, but is it like her home video?

I am really doubting it, with the quality and the sketchiness of being from ebaumsworld.

Looks like any ordinary can of tuna to me.

Tuna is what we thought too after viewing when my friend sent it to me. That, and she doesn't appear to eat very much of it if any ... Mostly just smears it all over herself after pushing the cat off the table.

I can't remember what place it was, but there is a place that sells food-grade tuna as cat food. Their reasoning is that you shouldn't feed your cat anything you wouldn't eat yourself. It comes in several different flavors, IIRC. :P

Also, I agree that it seems to just be tuna. I mean, you can't see the can clearly enough to read it, you don't really get any other clues that what she's actually eating is, in fact, cat food. Although I admit I didn't actually watch the whole thing. It seemed pointless.

It looks like the lable as been taken off anyway. Maybe they wanted you to think it was catfood and ripped the lable off of a tuna can.

So? I guy I knew from law school liked to freak people out by eating cat food. We were over at a mutal friend's house and he grab their bag of cat food and started eating, just to see what I would do. I did nothing. True, this was dry not wet cat food but the principl is similar. People will eat anything for attention just look at Fear Factor, gross.

Heh, I just used to eat it (dry food) because my cats looked like they enjoyed it a lot, and it was a pretty tasty always available savoury snack. I'd have like maybe half a cup per evening, it kept my coat shiny and stopped me having so many hairballs.

Some of the facial features, and the way this woman spoke some of here words gives me an uncomfortable feeling that this individual might have a developmental disability.

I agree with everyone else's opinion that it looks like tuna. Usually isn't cat food darker and more wet? I've always had a cat around, ever since I was like 5 and I always remember the food being wet and dark. Yes I did taste it once, it was very salty, nothing I would eat a whole can of but other then that it wasn't SO horrible.

Don't you LOVE Youtube posters?

Apparently, according to one, she's a "Fat ugly piece of American shite."

A tad harsh I suppose. However if she sticks to the regimen of smearing food over her face rather than ingesting it, she should see some weight loss.

I have to add this is sarcasm directed at the author of the comment quoted by Silkenray.

Actually I find them more disturbing then the woman in the video. She is clearly going for shock effect and is in on the joke. The scary part is most of them are serious. Not to mention illiterate.

Must admit, I misread this title as "Woman eating caf food" (as in, school cafeteria).
To which I would've said, "....Ew. Dangerous."
