Soviet Lolcats
Nov. 13th, 2009 08:26 pmDear Internet,
It is a rare moment when one reaches the end of the internet. After traversing a lengthy path littered with memes, blogs, adverts, and an endless sea of forums, I finally reached the end of the internet. As I stared off the face of the internet, I felt its cthonic undulations slowly peel away my sanity.
It was then that I truly understood the impact of connecting thousands of separate cultures through virtual space. Russian Lolcat macros.
This image translates approximately as:
"-His lethargic display of apathy and lack of industry is shameful!
-It is a legitimate response to the harsh and inconsequential nature of being. I celebrate his tenacity!"
As you can see, the Russian take on photo macros comes in a different flavor than our American counterpart. My personal belief is that the internet finally ran out of American lolcats and decided to expand its terrible reach. Take this fine example of American Lolcat literature:
Professor Zubrick, head of Caturday studies at Rofl University, believes that the vernacular differences stem from the influence of different sorts of WWII propaganda used in the separate countries. I sought him out for a personal interview. After praising a series of glorious cat humor, fresh from the gulag press, he spouted, "In mother Russia, cat picture tag YOU!" and then disappeared into his mad scientist lab to resume staring at a strange series of tubes intended to quantify and measure the internet.
