Uncovered Old, Unreleased Videos Featuring the Texas Lawyer Known for his Feline Companion, by Mike's Hard Lemonade
In a repeat of the memetastic incident that made headlines in 2021, Texas attorney Rod Ponton found himself in a sticky situation last week. During a virtual court hearing, Ponton inadvertently activated a kitten filter, transforming him into a sweet-faced silver-gray kitty.
In the unreleased footage from the hearing, Ponton is seen alone on Zoom, struggling to maintain his professional demeanor. He expresses confusion about the absence of his colleagues, asking, "Oh geez, did they hang up?" He suggests that they may have thought he was still under the filter, as the video reveals.
Ponton continues to struggle with the filter, trying to turn it off to no avail. He believes his colleagues left because they thought he was a cat, a notion that adds to the absurdity of the situation. The video was recorded last week, and it provides additional insights into the memetastic cat lawyer incident.
It is unclear who is responsible for streaming or withholding the material, but it is likely that the 394th District Court in Texas or a contracted streaming provider played a role. Ponton was not able to turn off the filter in the new video, leaving him looking adorable but potentially disrupting the proceedings.
Despite the viral nature of the original video in February 2021, there have been no reports or viral videos of similar incidents since, especially not in the past week. If you have information about a new situation involving Rod Ponton and a filter, please provide more details so that I can investigate further.
