(Ad age)   Apparently there seems to be a trend on the intertubes where people will take a picture of a cat and combine it with some bad copy, often with hilarious results. Anyone ever see anything like this before?   (adage.com) divider line 358

I'm referring to internet trend sweeping the nation:

Is this guy Ric Romero's fill-in while he's on vacation or something?

The fact that they call it a "lol cat" makes my stomach turn.
 
2007-05-02 11:13:20 AM
No, I don't think i have heard about this before. Would someone care to post examples? or maybe link to some of these sites?

Can we at least get rid of the ones with baby talk captions? I hate that shiat. Some of the others are funny.
 
2007-05-02 11:17:33 AM
I read some ad industry and marketing blogs. These people only picked up on this when Gawker did a take on LOLcats called LOLgays like, last week. LOLgays winning in yur internets

That's to say that, like in everything, the ad/marketing peeps are years behind the trend. This is the part of my post where you get to congratulate yourself for being part of a trend (go you!)

The gawker ones weren't even that funny.

I really don't like real, live cats, but for some reason I find the majority of these hilarious.

But, like any good joke that's overdone, the joy wears off quickly.
