Lolcats, A Bad Grammar Cat Macro Meme Explosion
The Lolcat meme is has been exploding lately. Lolcats or cat macros are those weird photos of cats (sometimes other creatures) doing strange things and using bad grammar. Recently they have been popularized via creative Twitter error messages.
I Can Has Cheezeburger? is becoming a massive clearinghouse for Lolcats and there is now even an online Lolcat Builder where you can make your own Lolcat images.
Anil Dash recently wrote a great post about the whole Lolcat phenomenon.

UPDATE: Well I’m legit now, I Can Has Cheezeburger? has officially cataloged and tagged my Ika Zaru Lolcat.

My cat hates me now. Everytime she turns around she's got a camera in her face! I submitted one of her (with a deceiving tag about her harbles -- girl kittahs no has harbles!). Let's see if cheezburger likes... ^__^
