"Every time you masturbate… God kills a kitten" also was a headline of an image created by a member of the website Fark.com in 2002. The image is of a kitten, since known as "Cliché Kitty", being chased by two Domo-kun, and has the tagline "Please, think of the kittens".The phrase originally appeared as the headline "Fact: Every Time You Masturbate, God Kills a Kitten. How Many More Have to Die?" with a kitten photo on the cover of The Gonzo, a satirical publication produced by students at Georgetown University, in 1996. Cultural referencesIn 2003, actor Dudley Sutton found inspiration from the Internet "where apparently people say that every time you masturbate God kills a kitten." From that statement, Sutton developed a serious piece about "a young man's emotions and feelings, from the moment he's a baby tugging at his cock onwards." In August 2003, he performed the one-man "Killing Kittens" show at the Smirnoff Underbelly.A video was produced by XXXchurch.com, the self-proclaimed "#1 Christian Porn Site", showing a slide show of kitten images to a piano accompaniment, while a voice-over urges viewers to "think of the kittens." They used the photoshopped kitten image in their campaign. There is also a song hosted by the same organization called The Killing Kitties Song by Stereotype, a youth group band. Jay Porter, a critic of XXXchurch, was quoted as stating that "'God kills a kitten every time you masturbate' is not an advisable message to direct at children," after the Michigan church used the slogan during an anti-pornography campaign in 2005. The phrase also inspired the name of a sex club called Killing Kittens. The brown "monsters" are Domo-kun, the mascot of Japan's NHK television station.The phrase sometimes is varied. For example, in 2003, The Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee maintained a computer screensaver that showed kittens chased by vengeful ninjas, and the cut line, "Every time you masturbate, a ninja chops the head off a kitten."
