Lolcats
Chadrew, Top 10 Internet Memes [Online], Retrieved on 12th January 2010.

Lolcats? What on earth is that? Well, some of you may have heard or seen this Internet Meme before while some may not. This Internet Meme or should we say Internet Phenomenon started with a person taking a picture of a cat and puts a funny caption on it and sends it out to their friends. However though, note that the English used in the caption are meant to be broken as it adds more humor into it.

Slowly, more and more people encounter these pictures on the Internet in websites such as forums or in a blog or even a social networking site. They then begin to find these pictures from all over the Internet and some even take a picture of a cat on their own and put it on MSN, Facebook or forums.

Even till today, you will still find these Lolcats pictures "roaming" around in websites as people still take pictures of cats. But rather than just plainly taking random cat pictures and putting a caption on it, some used these cat pictures to create a story out of it. The story may range from their own creativity to movies that you guys watched in the cinema.

Lolcats: Twilight
B., Mircrosuede: Movie Review: The Twilight Saga: New Moon [Online] Retrieved on 15th January 2010.
Movies? Yes, movies! Movies like Twilight: New Moon and Sex and The City. Some of the movie fans might get upset when they see the mentioned blockbuster movies like the Twilight fans but truth to be told, there is nothing to get upset about because it is merely for entertainment and as a joke.

Also, this Internet Meme can be a stress reliever. The reason being that is if you are feeling stress about your work, it can make you, most people or even everyone laugh because of the creativity and hysterical side of the lolcats. Just in case, you might want to prepare a glass of water beside you as you might end up with a hiccup after going through the lolcats.

Lastly, credit goes to the person who created the story using cats as creativity is still needed in arranging the picture sequence, choosing the right cats for the characters and even the editing image skills. And let's hope more of these lolcats come out in 2010 to give us more laughter and entertainment. Agree?

It can relieve stress, or add to it. Often internet memes are used as an "i don't care" response in forums, chat rooms or anywhere in the net.

Like when someone is new to a forum and they write about their life story as their first post. That's where all the "oRly?" and "epic failz" comes in.

@ Yap: Well, if you do not encounter the lame ones too many times, then it should be fine. And a stress person who loves cats would probably go through this Internet Meme since the cats used are quite cute. =)

@ Anonymous: Ya. Can't wait to see if there is one about Toy Story3. =)

@ Avelyn: Well, kinda. =)

The person who created the story was very creative. Plus, maybe he was too bored and too many cats were around him?

Jason said...

Ya, maybe. Either way, it is still good. =)
By the way, there are two hyperlinks in the fourth paragraph in case you guys did not notice it. Do take a look. Thanks. =)
