  • Are You Being Served? was an annual British televised kitten huffing competition. The show was a talent contest to decide the best new young kitten huffer, or 'pussy fondler', in the United Kingdom, based on viewer voting and participation. The show used actual kittens at first, which led to heavy criticism, given the fact that the animals were often whipped by the professional pussywhipper Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries, just before the shootings. Starting its tenth season the show began using only artificial pussies that could be run using a simple mouse. After ten seasons the show was adopted into the feature film The Vagina Monologues.
