Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Cats. The Internet. Two unstoppable forces that have gone hand in hand over the years in order to brighten the drudgery of office workers across the English-speaking world. Even when MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and other Web sites are blocked by the big brothers of corporate masterhood, most still allow you to head over to I Can Has Cheezburger for some pics of cute felines with funny captions. So imagine Rocks Off's reaction when we typed in "cute as hell" and "cats" into Google and we get a song by Cute as Hell called "Meow" nominally featuring cute pictures of cats, but really being a song about butthole. For shame, Cute as Hell. We wanted a little sunshine in our stormy day. Now, we have to go wash our minds.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
