What are your opinions on this whack a kitty video?

I am not commenting until later as I don't want to skew answers.

It totally reminds me of one of TBM's halloween costumes:

It's not my kind of entertainment but I don't consider it evil like some of the comments indicate.

It made me smile. I like this comment:  For any people who think he was hurting them, you can tell that they aren't hurting them because as you can see he didn't push them. He just nudged them with it to tell them to go? down. Cats love to explore so they probably thought it was really fun to be in the box, actually.

I also like the response video they made where the kitties just played in the box freely. They love it!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_bzB0qctnE&feature=watch_response

I think it's cute. I mean, I get bored after the first 30 seconds or so, but that's because I have a short attention span. I don't think it's cruel or mean.

I guess I am the crazy one.  DH showed it to me last night and I had to stop watching it.  I found it cute for maybe 20 seconds and then it just looked to me like the kittens were getting upset and stressed out. 

The rebuttal "free play" video with the box is much cuter and the kittens don't look so freaked.

I wanted to ask here because the person who posted it on FB - where DH saw it - is um, Pets Board level animal loving, and I just thought it was odd.

But I guess I am odd, lol.

I don't think it's mean or cruel, either but I don't think it's funny, either. Actually, it just got on my nerves but I'm weird about repetitive stuff (it makes me kind of squeamish). This video is one of those for me.
