Japanese Lolcats
Anybody think this would be fun to start? Ha ha ha. I don’t think much of the goofiness would translate, but I like the idea… But enough about what I think. So…whatcha think? Doable? Fun? Stupid idea?

If you find yourself completely at a loss, read up on this tutorial for how to create a “lolcat.” The gist of it is this, find a cute or otherwise amusing picture of an animal, add ridiculous internet expressions (LOL = laughing out loud) / captions spelled horribly wrong, and you’re gold. I’ve gotta work out the funny spelling and “voice” and diction commonly associated with lolcats. Just doesn’t seem to translate. Hmmm. Thoughts?
