Funny cat videos are being showcased in theatersβ€”Cat Video Fest has become a hit in hundreds of cinemas around the world.

In its 8 years of existence, the project has gained significant popularity. Last year, Cat Video Fest grossed $1 million over its entire run, and this year, it made nearly $500,000 in just three days.

We're going to France for a stranger's wedding: a Parisian has launched a service called Invitin, where couples sell tickets to their wedding to strangers. Guests have fun, and the bride and groom recoup some of their expenses.

Tickets for weddings in Provence or Paris cost around €100-150, and the couple decides who to sell the invitation to. The rules for guests are simple: don't be late, dress according to the dress code, and behave appropriately.

Who will adapt this startup for Russians?

The Lada Vesta unexpectedly found itself featured in an advertisement for Amazon. The online retailer selected it for a banner promoting their new car sales service.

Just to clarify: the Lada Vesta is not available for sale in the United States. Currently, only Hyundai can list cars on Amazon Autos.

It's unclear how a Russian car ended up in the advertisement. Kudos to the designers for the Easter egg.
