It was reported this week that Tardar Sauce, aka Grumpy Cat, has earned $100 million for his owner Tabatha Bundesen. Bundesen disputed that amount to The Huffington Post, although she declined to comment on the correct amount. Either way, Bundesen and Tardar Sauce have proven that it pays to be Grumpy.
She's a smart lady to capture the zeitgeist and cash in. Plus she'll forever have memories of her darling cat when he moves onto that great litter box in the sky.
Grumpy Cat has a brother, Pokey, who is equally cute/unusual. I am also amazed that this is profitable at all, enough so to make a movie. People want to watch this? Being a meme isn't enough?
I know I'm nitpicking, but the way grumpy cat's owner has spelled his/her real name has always irked me a bit. It should be TARTER sauce (the stuff that tends to be served on the side of fish and chips) not TARDAR sauce. I served a ton of it during my illustrious waitressing days, more than I care to think about.
Unless the owner misspelled it on purpose, which I don't think so. It sounds kind of mean that way.
Fun Fact #5 about Grumpy Cat: 5. Crystal came up with Grumpy Cat's real name—Tardar Sauce—which was inspired by two things: Grumpy's original orangish coloring ("She thought Grumpy looked like Tartar sauce," Tabatha says) and the fact that, at the time, Tabatha was waitressing at Red Lobster and had just made Crystal try the stuff. "She was like, 'Ew, no!' and I said 'Honey, you have to try it! It goes with fish!' So it was fresh in her mind when the kitten was born."
so is that how they spell it on the Red Lobster menu???
vile looking thing
