Pedantic overanalyzer sucks all the fun out of LOLcats
Actually, this essay (with hot chart action!) on the sociology, etymology, and ecology of image macros and LOL[nouns] is interesting, and thoughtfully written. And the person who wrote it is by no means a pedant. I am making LOL! But something as pure as a kittah with an invisible sammich -- I don't know, when you overanalyze anything that simple and funny, does it vanish like a bucket in tha night?
What happens to a meme deferred? Does it dry up like a harbl in the sun? Or does it fester like a cheezburger -- and then run?
Link. (thanks, Cayden)
