Popular Internet Meme “Lolcats” Has Gone to the Dogs
For Immediate Release

August 21 : If Rehoboth Beach, Delaware based Internet publishing and development firm Resdaz Media LLC. has it’s way, the Lolcats will be on their way to the litter box and the dogs will have their day. Resdaz Media founders David X. Smith and Ralph E. Smith have recently launched a new picture blog website entitled LolDawgz - What Dogs are Thinking. The site’s primary reason for creating the site was to offer dog owners an alternative to the ever increasing number of lol-themed websites featuring cat pictures only. Lolcats, with their feline whiskers turned up at the canine world, think they are the only animals that can be cute and funny. The Resdaz Team thought it was only appropriate to show the kitty culture that their four legged domestic counterparts are actually funnier and can be far humourous than any hairball coughing, furniture scratching, self centered Lolcat. David Smith, a dog owner and enthusiast has even featured his own dog, a wire haired Dachshund named Sgt. Schultz on the LolDawgz website. The most popular image macro being the blog’s first post with a picture of Sgt. Schultz dressed in a reindeer costume and a caption “Deer Santee Klauz, I pulls ur slay 2nite”.

Lolcats are an Internet phenomenon or Internet meme that consist of an image macro combining a picture of a cat with a humorous and idiosyncratic caption. The captions are often written in “netspeak” which is a form of nonsensical shorthand used in Internet chat rooms or in text messages sent by cellphone users. In netspeak, one might use “lol” as shorthand for “laugh out loud” or “rotfl” which stands for “rolling on the floor laughing”. Netspeak has been around since the earliest days of America Online chat rooms and BBS systems. The creation of image macros using netspeak is a relatively new concept that has risen in popularity through Interet forums and message boards such as Something Awful and 4Chan. The lol-themed sites have taken netspeak to the next level by incorporating elements of baby talk, poor grammar and common misspellings into the mix to enhance the overall suggestiveness that the pictured animal is the one who is speaking or thinking what is captioned.

LolDawgz is a community based, social networking site for dog owners and dog enthusiasts. Visitors are encouraged to contribute through several methods, such as uploading pictures of their own dogs to be captioned and/or by commenting on the existing photos. Additionally, there is a voting system which contributors can use to rate each picture on a scale of one to five. LolDawgz is provided entirely free of charge to it’s end users and advertising revenue is used to pay for the expenses entailed in operating the website. As a final comment, the founders would like people to be reminded of the bold banner adorning the front page of the LolDawgz site that clearly states “No Cats Allowed”.
