A LOLcat site for people with no sense of humor.

I would probably have let this pass without mention if the "About Us" section hadn't irritated me so deeply, in particular this part:

What the internet fails to realize is that most cats do not think like people. They think like cats.


On the contrary, I think the majority of LOLcat fans do recognize this. You know why? BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT FUNNY. And if I want to anthropomorphize my cats, what does it matter to you, Mr./Ms. Humorless Internet Person? It's not hurting you. Are you a killjoy at parties too?

Anyway, after I showed this to coworkers, they started dishing out the stories about inexplicable cat behavior ("you are pretending to be asleep and I want you to get up and feed me already, so I'm going to start to push something fragile and valuable off this high shelf"). Maybe cats are as boring as this guy thinks they are, but I'm not convinced.

I've spent too much time and energy on this already. Especially considering a LOLcat could sum up the whole thing in three words: DO NOT WANT.

ETA: Guess I'm the one made of fail because several people have made a case this is a joke site. OH GOD I'M ONE OF THOSE HUMORLESS INTERNET PEOPLE

To be fair, I *do* know a couple of people like that, but none of them would go to the bother of making a site--they'd just write long rant about it and have done with it. The tone of the site makes me pretty sure that it's a humor site itself. :)

Now I'm sitting here wondering if the joke is on me and if I'm one of those humorless internet people. OH GOD THIS IS WHY I STOPPED WRITING ON LJ IN THE FIRST PLACE

Yeah, um, I think the site is a total colossal joke.

It's OK though. I spend too much time online and that's why I got it - that's kinda...FAIL... ;)
