Thank you so very much! I spit coffee on my keyboard and I am glad.
This is really great! (Referred from Boing Boing)
Is this under some creative commons type copyright? I would love to make a little poster for my office.
Thanks!

Can you *seriously* make a cafepress site for these? I would love to buy this on a t-shirt. Or can I have permission to make a t-shirt for personal use?
Unfortunately, I think the people in my office who make the PowerPoint presentations for us to watch actually kill kittens themselves.
Thank you for the joy you shared with this art!
No great loss. Everyone, keep on PowerPointing.
Ditto on the t-shirt. Dorks like me would gladly pay $20 for one.

Hilarious. I want a t-shirt.
Does the same hold for Keynote or OpenOffice?
Mark,
You should set yourself up with an account at Red Bubble and then people could order T-shirts or prints themselves.
“Save wildlife – Kill a cat” = “Save wildlife – Use Powerpoint”
[...] PowerPoint maker: you’ll spend your days making PowerPoint presentations, with many slides, and many of those presentations won’t be used in the end. The presentations will be used in meetings where 90% of the invited people don’t care about what you have to say, and the 10% that should be interested won’t attend. (beware, this basic job leads to death of kittens) [...]
