Relevant TAL episode prologue: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/775/the-possum-experiment https://www.thisamericanlife.org/775/the-possum-experiment Lady puts up "Cat Found" posters around her L.A. neighborhood with pictures of a possum, as a stunt: https://hw4.thisamericanlife.org/sites/default/files/styles/portrait/public/episodes/images/cat-found-poster-jlw-3.jpg https://hw4.thisamericanlife.org/sites/default/files/styles/... Her voice mail explodes with callers from all over the country after the poster gets shared online. Hundreds of calls. She gets three types of messages, which she catalogued: 1. Those who didn't realize it was a joke or weren't sure and called to politely let her know she had found a possum, not a cat. About 70% of callers. 2. Those who realized it was obviously a joke and called to tell her she had found their cat. About 20% of callers. 3. Those who didn't realize it was a joke and called to tell her how dumb she was. She got some really mean messages. About 10% of callers.
