The Evolution of the LOLCats

I have to say that I have been obsessing over LOLCats. These are cute little pictures of cute and fuzzy animals, more often than not cats, with cute, horribly misspelled words on them that we see poping up all over the place.

I always wondered: who makes these things? Where did they begin? What is the secret to their popularity? Why do they exist?

Well, we finally have some answers. It took a while for LOLcats to evolve. It was trial and error for a long time, as people tried to find the perfect photo subject.

First, it was LOLpols--with photos of politicians:

 

That wasn't terribly successful, so it kinda altered into into LOLdub(ya):

 

But this one didn't work either. It lacked a certain...cuteness. They tried to counteract this with another variation--LOLohan:

 

Cuter? Yes. Innocent? Well, not quite. But they were able to see what they were missing. And then voila! LOLcats!

 

  Where will this trend go from here? Will it ever stop? Who knows?

 

BTW, this is meant as purely humorous and satiric All the photos are copyright their respective owners.
