As if the acronym, cat images, and |33† speak across the interwebs wasn’t annoying enough - somehow the idea to combine all three in the form of lame captions has caught on and become a somewhat phenomenon.
I don’t care where it came from or if it was ripped of from somewhere else… it’s terrible.

I am the technical liason for my family. I have tried desperately to get the ones I love to do simple things like use email and upload photos, all to no avail. No emails, no photos - ever. Something really great like Skype? Forget it.
And then one day I tell them about the lolcats at icanhascheezburger.
The next day I have 50 emails from everyone sharing their favorite lolcat. More emails kept coming “How can I take a picture and do this? You gotta tell me, this is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. How do I upload, how do I add text, oh please oh please help me now!”
Thousands of lolcat pictures was all it took.

A tragically insufficient sense of humor. But then, silliness is forbidden, isn’t it? It’s immature, ignorant, shameful..
