Puhlease, they are teh funny

An interesting post to an academic listserv today regarding a unique online social movement mentioned, for contrast, actions from groups responsible for “a set of unfunny memes such as the LOLcats.” Of course all I could think about from that point on was “wait — LOLcats aren’t funny? Since when?”

Really, how can you not find find them entertaining? It’s cats, which everyone loves, and then wacky spelling and grammatical syntax — I mean c’mon!
