/an/, recently Caturday and cat image macros have been getting a lot of media coverage, first in mainstream blogs (for people who think the internet is like real life) and then in newspapers and stuff.

In all these articles, for some reaon, they refer to cat image macros as "LOLcats".

Do you know anyone who calls them LOLcats? Anyone who's not a retard?

I'm almost 100% certain that the term LOLcats and 'not being a retard' are mutually exclusive. I feel retarded just for using it in my post

LOLcats is a generic grouping term that may be tied to a blog that constantly posts cat macros. It's been all over BoingBoing for the past month or so, I guess you can blame them. It also makes it easier to group the parody macros - LOLpresidents, LOLbots, LOL80s, etc.

They could have called them "Cheezburger Cats" instead. How would you feel about that one?

Are you talking about http://icanhas***********.com/ (image related, please don't go there. I don't want to give them any hits) that acts like they started the cat image macro thing and that they are the only source for it on the internet? Every time they get interviewed for some article and then I end up reading it, I want to smack them. They've been around since fucking January 2007. They have fucking DONATION links all over their site, too, and over $3000 in donations each month. Fuckers.

I would rather have those fucks take the credit and money than get a bunch of fucking idiots coming to 4chan thinking all they're gunna see is ZOMG CYYYUTE PICTARS OF TEH KITTENZ. That would just fucking kill 4chan. I'm really starting to get tired of everyone thinking every damn picture of a cat needs a macro, anyway.

Let them pretend they have their victory. We know in our hearts who started Caturday anyway.

Only if they all came at once and there happened to be a board dedicated to animals instead of Caturday being a /b/ event.

Oh wait.

Why doesn't Moot just add a Caturday board so /an/ can stop being overrun with shitty macros?

I've got a better idea, just delete all the shitty macros that get posted here and don't make a board just for them.
LOLcats was a web site that watermarked 4chan images, If I recall.
