My wife watches GMA while getting the kids ready, and it was on this morning. They did a story on this and one of the anchors (the blond chick) said, "and it's already got a built in fan base of millions!"
No it doesn't you stupid twat. It's just a fucking cat with a grumpy face that people use to make memes.
The only chance this thing has of making money is if they keep the budget under $20K.

Some celebrities simply cannot be pleased. Just ask Ben Lashes, a talent manager in Los Angeles. This week, he landed a major motion-picture deal for a client who nine months ago was an unknown living in Morristown, Ariz., population 227.
When he told his client that she was heading to Hollywood, she looked bored. "She hates movies," says Mr. Lashes of his client, Grumpy Cat, a cat with a mouth puckered into a frown whose viral photos have ricocheted around the Internet.
Mr. Lashes, 34 years old, is an agent for Internet cats. When an ironic photograph of a feline becomes Internet famous, Mr. Lashes contacts the pet owner and offers to help strategize ways to prolong, protect and monetize. He says he operates with this question in mind: "What would Walt Disney do if he created Mickey Mouse and it went viral on YouTube?"
It's not me, it's someone else.
