You all probably already know I Can Has Cheezburger?, a blog to submit lolcats (and other ‘lolanimals’) - unless you’ve been living under a rock in the blogosphere. And gosh they do have so many cute animals, and I do enjoy the captions most of the time. But what I hate hate hate is lolspeak! I don’t know who had the retarded idea to spell everything wrong and that somehow that would make the pictures funnier or cuter. Mostly it makes them harder to read and annoying. Granted, I can usually deal with a caption of a few words in lolspeak, but you should try reading the comments on that site, I can just feel my brain cells slowly dying, as - you guessed it - they are all in lolspeak.
You may wonder what prompted me to write this post. Well, this did …
This is what I saw when I logged into Flickr the other day. Seriously, Flickr? Seriously?
But yeah, I can’t deny it, the pictures are super-cute! And I have succumbed to adding Icanhascheezburger.com to my blogroll.
I just wish they would spell words properly, you know, because it is not like they don’t know how to. At least some of the people submitting pictures do. See?
And they’re still cuuute. And don’t cause headaches to read.

oh wie ich die seite deswegen hasse!!!ich mag die echt überhaupt nicht weil ich das so dämlich finde! ich meine die bilder sind echt süß aber die kommentare finde ich voll dumm! und die sind ja echt in so vielen blogs! wenn einer nich weiß was er schreiben soll, macht er so ein dummes bild rein! ARGH!!! so der rant (geil das deutsche wort fällt mir nicht ein) ist jetzt zu Ende! sorry aber das musste einfach mal raus! =)
Haha, kann das gut verstehen, mich nerven die Kommentare auch. Eigentlich wären die Bilder auch ohne Kommentare gut, aber wenn mit, dann wenigstens richtig geschrieben.
With you all the way on hating that craze for lol-speak. Scary thing is, it’s hard to tell whether it’s just a passing fad or the beginnings of an internet-based dialect, where subtleties are reduced to glibness and clichés and where meaning is lost or inverted. Already kids are submitting essays sprinkled with SMS-gibberish because they don’t know the difference.
hilarious. i think some of my friends might have been living under a rock. ;) they only heard about this recently!
Hi Viviane, I found your blog through 20something.
I can’t stand the lolspeak either. Like it makes it more funny because… it’s not easy to read?? I don’t get it.
The panda picture made me laugh out loud though!
I was introduced to lolcats by a friend a few months ago - truly hilarious!
Ich bin auch “halb” Deutsch. Meine Mutter kommt aus Deutschland aber meine Familie wohnen alle in London. Ich muss eigentlich mein Deutsch mehr ueben! Vielleicht sollte ich auf Deutsch UND auf Englisch schreiben!
I agree, it makes my blood boil.
Now I want a baby panda!!
I agree. I can’t stand it. Why is it always cooler to be stupid? I don’t get it. (Hey, does that mean I’m cool too?!)
I love the panda one too. :D
i luv i can has cheezburger!
(maybee iz dum…)
