(Image from I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?) Funny cat pictures + anthropomorphic captions + chatspeak = genius. We wish we had some deep social insight or clever analysis of the Lolcat phenomenon, but we really don't. This is just a shameless excuse to spend a morning looking at amusing pictures of monorail cats, invisible bicycles, feline tech support, and tiny, fluffy kittens. Why is all this funny? We're not completely sure. Something about cats (and other animals) with bad grammar and spelling, or maybe cute pictures that are a small step away from being motivational posters. How did it start? Does it matter? Like many Internet memes it kind of builds on a variety of influences -- gamers' taunts, image macro messageboards, Cute Overload -- and continues to evolve. If it's all a little too highbrow for you, you can always go back to old school favorites like All Your Base Are Belong to Us or singing kittens. Suggested Sites...
