We were always annoyed by those ads for that fast food chain which shall remain nameless in which cows were able to learn the basics of the English language and hold magic markers despite being ungulates but spelling apparently evaded them. And then LOLcats happened, and it's almost the same thing on a grand scale. But not quite. Because, as Anil Dash points out, there is a right way to caption LOLcats and a wrong way, which means they have created their own version of the language -- a kitty pidgin as it were. A new language that's breaking the conventions of the old language and training kids and lovers of cute alike that wrong is okay as long as it's cute. (And, well, cute is persuasive.) So for those who've had enough of the whole LOLcats phenomenon, we present a shirt designed to stop the madness.
A 100% cotton, black t-shirt features a pile of dead, white kittens in a little puddle of adorable blood with the caption, "Every time you Can Has, God kills a LOLcat."
