TechCrunch isn’t written by cats?

Thanks to a tip from Ryan Kuder let me introduce LOLinator, a site that combines the still hot LOLcats phenomenon with any site of your choosing. The service comes from Malevolent Design and turns any site into one designed by cats. You can visit TechCrunch designed by cats here if you want the full version, or a screen shot below.

LOLinator will obviously go viral.

Nice idea from its creators.

After reading this kind of posts, I thought TC was already run by cats.

Okay, “Techcrunch written by Kitteh” is the funnniest thing I’ve seen all day. I vote that you do this at least once a week.

If we where April 1st, I would get it but I don’t get this at all. Bad spelling, pictures of cats… Duncan I think you are becoming increasingly tired of producing high quality content and need to take a Sabbatical to refresh your batteries before your writing goes to the dogs

Took rather a while. Leetspeak translators have been around for ever, I remember playing with one in school. I’m surprised it took so long to do the same for lolspeak.

Funny - anthropomorphising animals on the Internet and putting words in their mouths was at one time the preserve of crazy old ladies writing Geocities websites (later blogs) from their cats’ perspective. Once it was a surefire route to Something Awful’s Awful Link of the Day section, now it’s a staple of Internet humour.
