Dear gamespot community,

Lately I have come under attack from a very dreadful trend. This trend was even recently featured in Parade magazine (you know, that magazine that they put inside the newspaper that contains gems like Ask Marilyn). It's the talk of internet kiddies all around town, featured in sigs and and messages, and worst of all, used WAY too frequently in serious topics.

What is this scourge, you might ask (if you're that out the the interent trend world)?

LOLCATS



I for one, am not one who is particularly fond of trends, I thanked my lucky stars when the moderators finally had the sense to get rid off the "Touch her shoulder" fad in the OT, I can't say i cared for the whole Chuck Norris jokes, and i especially despise these "mudkipz".

But this one is possibly the worst trend I have seen in many a year. Why?

It's. Just. Not. Funny. At. All.

Let's take a closer look. It's a picture of a cat with words spelled incorrectly. Okay? It's not cute enough to get me to simply melt away. It's not funny enough to get me to laugh my arse off. Think of it this way: in any random movie, a guy slips on ice. Might cause me to chuckle. Now in that same movie, write "O noez. I felled." Does this improve the scene? Not for me, but apparently for millions of internet message board posters.

Another example of this trash

So let me leave you with this: I heard you like lolcats. Why?????
