I bet most of you have already heard of the phenomenal ICanHasCheezburger.com. I’ve only discovered it a while ago and it’s one of my favorite things about the Internet.
For the noobs among you guys, let me just point you to a Wiki entry which explains more about the LOLCats culture and how it works as well as an article from Time magazine.
The basics of how this works is resumed in the Time article:
Take a picture of a cat doing something cute. Then make up a caption–something witty that the cat would be saying if cats could talk. Bear in mind that cats can’t spell all that well and that they’re not so hot on subject-verb agreement either. Photoshop the caption onto the image, and post your creation on a blog. What you get is lolcats: lol for laugh out loud, cats for cats.
Simple enough, right? Now enjoy some LOLCats and other LOLs that transcend the species barrier. Oh, and try to see beyond the grammar errors. I had some problems at first. Most of the words are written phonetically, like “dat” instead of “that” and “kitteh” instead of “kitty”. But no worries, you’ll learn how to speak LOLCats in no time!
Okay. And now just a question to test if yo
u know your movies. Where is the 8th picture inspired from?
Which one do you like best? My fave is the last one. I just can’t resist little cute baby chicks.
