So, you know, more Cheezburger cats, and the guys who run the site have now got their own Cheezserver due to its popularity. Go them.

There was a recent post of a DO NOT WANT cat, which sparked some interesting observations from Cheezburgerservrdude him(?)self:

how did the “do not want” things get started?
Today I used the lolcat “i has a bukket” collage for my postmodernism class to illustrate how sometimes…we have technology (i has a bukkit), but sometimes, technology has us (NOO the bukkit has MEEE).
Brilliant, wouldn’t you say, lolcat readers?

I must say that an internet meme inspired modification of the english language is quite fitting for study in post modermism course. Personally, I believe that if you want to truly understand “how” a meme such as “do not want”, “i has a bucket”, and “i’m in ur x ying z” begins, grows, and takes over the world (ala ICHC) you’d have to delve into several levels of social interaction, the progression and development of new/almost constantly changing methods of communication, and finally the diffusive properties provided by the internet, instant communication, and the perceived value for time sensitive communicative compression.

in the endz u realize u is as much a part of it as it is a part of u.


And u iz, indeedz. See, cute cats, silliness and the occasional interesting remark. What more do you need?
