Caturday?  I  can has cheezburgr? Can we use this thread to post cat pictures?

[Stogi]

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?!

YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT SUPER IS CAPABLE OF!

[Svevan]

I hate that video. It's terrible. Awful.  

[WalkingTheCow]

I rather like that video.

[ShyGuy]

Svevan, I think you missed the director's intention to do a post-modern commentary on the inner child of Generation X juxtaposed against the abstract nature of the digital revolution (post dot com bubble)

[Dirk Temporo]

Those image macros are terrible.

[Crimm]

I felt the video was amusing in an ironic "this is really terrible" sort of way.  It had a youtube quality of it, that they seem to be attempting to foster with this guerilla campaign.  

all I want for xmas.

The problem is that it's so clear that they're harnessing the power of lolcats for marketing.  It's a clever idea, but it sucks the life out of the medium:  bad spelling and pictures of cats are only part of the equation, the most important part is inspiration - something you won't get from 10 different pictures of cats with Wii controllers and a TV showing Geometry Wars.

QFT

lolcats are an internet culture thing, and they're generally done when pictures of cats are taken at just the right moment that a funny caption can be added.

Attempting to bend that to marketing purposes just doesn't work.

lolcats FTW!
