I Can Has Cheeseburger?

We Iz Sharing

I’m sure you’ve seen them around the internet, on message boards, in the comments of Fark articles, and especially in MySpace comments. They’re called LOLCats, and it’s an internet cliche/fad that involves taking a picture of a pet (usually cats) in a funny or suggestive pose, and putting really weird obscure quotes on the picture. The requirements are that the type must be in huge IMPACT font with white text and a thick black outline around the letters, and that you be as grammatically incorrect as possible.

I’m not quite sure where the phenomenon got started, but I’m addicted. It’s not just the cute pictures of kitties, it’s the bizarre sayings they put on top. The fad got so big that someone even created a site just for the topic: ICanHasCheeseburger.com.

The site allows you to upload your own pictures of cats and other animals, and allows you to insert the text on the website itself. Once the picture is submitted, it will go through an approval process from the moderators (named Tofu and Cheese), and then is placed on a voting queue. The highest voted pictures make it to the front page for the whole world to see.

I’m often embarrassed when someone from work catches me looking at the site. It’s so utterly ridiculous, but I can’t get enough of it. As you can see from the picture at the top, I’ve made my own LOLCat picture.

To see more LOLCats, go to ICanHasCheeseburger.com, and for more of my own LOLCats creations, see them after the jump:

Hahaha.. Stoppit.

Oh, and here’s a special one for my friends in The Woodlands:

(They always bring their dog leftovers from restaurants, not actually feeding her Styrofoam.)
