Kitten Wall

Setting: A party at a building in Dumbo. A beautiful view of downtown. The party host asserted that nothing could compete with the stunning view of the Manhattan skyline from the apartment, thus the lack of any décor in the room. I counterasserted that a wall of kittens would get more attention per guest per minute.
There’s only one way to settle these claims: Build the Kitten Wall to compete with the View.
Step One: Build wall-sized kitten habitrail. Plexiglass cover optional; breaking the fourth wall by having kittens interact with guests could add an interesting element. Having interaction could invalidate the comparison of views. On the flip side, playing with kittens rocks.
Step Two: Rent a whole lot of kittens.
Step Three: Have a party! Don’t tell the guests the Secret Purpose. Set cameras to record the View + Kittens Room. Enjoy!
Step Four: Figure out who was right. Review the tape. Track per-visitor viewing time of the View and the Kitten Wall. Make a graph to make things official. Declare victory.
Challenge:
Getting the owner of the View Room to agree to host this madness.
Ethical issues? What ethical issues? There are kittens!
