Lolcatz!

Even if you hate cats, it is IMPOSSIBLE to hate the “lolcat.” And if you truly hate cats that much, the website ICanHasCheezBurger.com has found a way to accommodate most, if not all, people with a sense of humor.
What are “lolcats?” They are a combination of cat photographs with humorous captions. The great thing about these pictures is that they are capable of inducing every kind of reaction known to humanity.
The first “lolcat” dates back to 2005 by anonymous user and was dubbed the name “Lolcat” on June 2006. The domain name “LOLcats.com” was established on June 14, 2006 and soon became a bizarre web phenomenon on “I Can Has Cheezburger?” by Eric Nakagawa.
Now, people are taking pictures of their pets and posting them to be “lol-itized.” Seriously, who would have thought your picture of Fluffy would become even more famous than that breathtaking landscape picture. (Photo source: lolcats.com and icanhascheezburger.com)
