Hai, du u lolcatz? I du, kthxbai

Right I know I am always behind when it comes to internet trends, but anyone with too much time on their hands and are looking for a quick ‘laff’ (as they say in lolcode) should check these lolcats out.

What are lolcats you might ask? Basically, they are macro shots of cats in funny positions, with even funnier captions intentionally written in bad internet slang. Here’s one of my favourites:

It started with just one photo posted on the web, and the whole thing ballooned into a full-blown internet phenomena thingy. That’s how websites like LOLCATS and I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER? popped up with hundreds of lolcats now available for your perusal.

There are:

lolcoolcats,
lolcoolcat

the nauseated little lolcats (must have been surfing lolgays, see below),
lolcats frewup

the book type lolcats,
lolcats book

and my favourite type- the party pooper lolcats, amongst others.
party pooper cat

This trend got pretty big, so much so that other permutations of the lolcats have appeared. One that appeared a few months ago was the lolgays, and most recently lolvogue for the fashionistas.

Perhaps there should be a malaysian version of this trend as well, like lollala’s or lolbengs or lolrempits or lolpolitizhuns.

I’ll leave you with a lolvogue.
