Good idea, but ideally it should use machine learning to try to show as interesting stuff as possible to each user, based on results of earlier answers. I.e., if I choose the non-kitten, show me something (statistically) related to that.
(Not sure what goes on behind the scenes, but it did feel very random and not very adaptive to my previous decisions)
Maybe this could be transitioned to some sort of live split testing platform or something...otherwise, I don't see much value to it other than show-and-tell.
I'm confused on how to vote. Intuitively I think I click on whichever I think is better. But when I hover over the the non-kitten, it gives me a weird message like "Get Real", "Are You Blind?", "Not Now, Not Ever", and "Not Likely". Which kind of leads me to think that I'm voting for the kitten even when clicking on the non-kitten?
I wasn't expecting it to show when I posted it either. It was mostly people's work. I've seen it posted on quite a few places, so I'm guessing the surge of posts and lack of (or insufficient) moderation did their thing.

I think that's the joke.
