The biggest problem with LOLcats is the way in which they divorce the phenomenon from the context.  A lot of the funniest lolcats are impossible to understand without a fairly solid grounding in forum parlance and etiquette, but the concept itself has taken on a kind of life of its own in the hands of those who just think cats that talk are inherently cute.

Well, geek culture is striking back, RE-appropriating the lolcat phenomenon and returning it to its rightful place--in the hands of those who love cartoons, robots and video games.  LOLBOTS is the next big craze--be sure to tell your neighbors about it.

Bask and enjoy.
