And last but not least- my all personal favorite
Now, the funny part about all this is that I actually hate cats (there are exceptions for some cats), but in general, I consider myself to be a dog person. So here is my theory as to why the internet cat phenomenon has grown exponentially--> People like to make fun of things/laugh at things they hate, like Cats.
Of course this theory is really just a hypothesis at this point and must first be thoroughly tested before we can make any conclusions.
I think the internet is a great place to share some harmless fun about our furry little friends. I think the internet has definitely changed the way we see comedy (really memes are like a comic strip really, only with one box...comic box?) I think in the future we can kids referencing popular internet memes or pictures instead of quoting movies (pssst...this is already happening....) Which could create more of a segregation from one generation to the next, I think the internet has done that in many ways (but we can get into that more in another post)
Until next week,
Tab out.
this is great. I LOVE cats, so this was awesome for me hahahaha. I LOVED the Life of Pi one and the Kristen Stewart one and the last one! i laughed out loud while i'm at work hahaha. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, Yes I must agree. I was looking for a blog post that would make my night and I definitely found it. I laughed so hard all of my roommates gathered to partake in the happiness with me. Needless to say, I absolutely agree that the internet is a great way to connect with friends... on so many levels! Thanks!

I think it is interesting that cats are the main focus. I wonder if they would have started this trend with fish if it would have gone as viral as the cats did.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm definitely not a cat person and thought these were funny! So your theory stands! :)
ReplyDeleteThis post was hilarious! For some reason, I love internet cats too...even though I don't really like them in real life...maybe there should be a study done on that. :) Can't wait to read more of your blog!
