Huh, didn't know about the ads (adblock on FF) - I just thought this was neat and wanted to share. Delete away, mods!

Ummm....so do I comment on the huge banner ad at the top of the page, or how their privacy policy ends with "www.kittenfaces.com has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.".
You mean there are still people that surf the web without Adblock+ (or something similar) in this day and age? Wow.
Cute concept, poor execution IMO. I was expecting... I dunno... Something better.

I uploaded a picture of myself, and it replaced my face with one of those ugly, crinkly ones. Gotta be honest, I feel a little insulted.

I tried to upload a picture of myself and it timed out.
So then I resized the picture to make the file size smaller and it still timed out.
Then I gave up.
A++.

Heh, well I'm embarrassed - it worked well for me, I thought it was fun in a so-bad-it's-good way, and didn't know about the banner ads or cookies. Sorry!

You should be sorry. I want my $5, and also, a kitten. And none of those ugly kittens, either. I want a cute kitten.

Fascinating...I experienced zero problems with the site (except for the sub-optimal kitty). Latest beta of firefox with adblock+.
