- Bersy, on 04/24/2008, -0/+0Huh?
- Sonhja, on 04/24/2008, -1/+0Ben Huh is the founder of the site.

- alanr19, on 04/24/2008, -7/+19Best quote: "Oh HAI I'm still on the internets, being old and kind of annoying at this stage."
. - KingDork, on 04/24/2008, -12/+37Might want to get that first years paycheck upfront, given this fad will be dead in 2 more weeks...
- Naidel, on 04/24/2008, -1/+5uh? LOLCats have been around on the internetz forever. Or at least since a 100 years ago.
- maxyRO, on 04/24/2008, -5/+8Just one comment in lolcat? I would have expected more so far
- jcasaurus, on 04/24/2008, -9/+12I bet you they will make more money they I do, which is ***** stupid.
- xOKxWhy, on 04/24/2008, -1/+12I understand being a janitor is hard work and all, but don't diss the position.
- diegogarcia12, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2Interesting stuff I found on BlogAds.com. They charge $800 a week for one ad-space. There are 8 ad-spaces on the site, so that's $25600 a month from one ad-space. They have 3 more... So they're probably making 100k a month from advertising right now... Never mind a janitor, you'd have to be a high-flying CEO to make more cash than that...

P.S.

- chris9902, on 04/24/2008, -2/+31"Lolcats became an Internet craze last year."
Somebody doesn't spend all their time on forums. - laserblazer, on 04/24/2008, -13/+2k-k00l d-d00d
- laserblazer, on 04/24/2008, -1/+1This is how d00ds used to talk before there were l33ts and lolcats, youngens.
- aladrin, on 04/24/2008, -3/+13Some lolcats are really cute and funny, but others are amazingly bad. I have to wonder if that correlates to the ability to spell at all... For instance, does the ability to think also give the ability to weed out bad lolcats? Does it give the ability to self-censor and not post total crap?
I think he's wrong about the 'traditional methods have to be thrown out' crap. I think he'd find his best candidate by using those methods first, including looking at the artists prior work. (And this IS art, like it or not.) And then the traditional interview will allow him to see whether the person is likable and has a good sense of humor.
Hmm... That's pretty much all traditional.- MsArtGeek, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2Oh? So I take it your cat's spelling is perfect? Guess I've fallen behind the times with my cat's technology....
- GumdoMike, on 04/24/2008, -2/+8In related news, I hear a position just opened up at the Dancing Hampster website

- ThirdPrize, on 04/24/2008, -5/+3So, the internet equivalent of Soljah Boy is hiring? How is this news?
- gn0stik, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2SoulJah.

It's Rasta, or at least a nod to it.

- GoonPowerX, on 04/24/2008, -1/+1Ben Huh over what?
- BobsYourUncle, on 04/24/2008, -8/+1I question the intelligence of anyone who likes lolcats, regardless of their education. It's ***** stupid.
- MsArtGeek, on 04/24/2008, -0/+6Not that there's a strict correlation between education and intelligence (education can nurture intelligence but not create it where it doesn't exist), I question the grip on reality of anyone who thinks LOLCats is about being smart, or that everything has to be.
- BobsYourUncle, on 04/24/2008, -2/+2How's this? I question the intelligence of anyone who likes lolcats, regardless of their education, background, personal circumstances, life experiences, past/current/future career moves, "street smarts" and any and all other reflections on their estimated level of intelligence.
My grip on reality is firm. I never said lolcats was about being smart, or that everything had to be smart. I said people who like them are stupid. Nice try though.- MsArtGeek, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2You could not have illustrated my point better. If you disregard education, background, personal circumstances, life experiences, past/current/future career moves, "street smarts" and any and all other reflections on their estimated level of intelligence, and still decide someone is stupid on the basis of one solitary preference which YOU happen to dislike, well... that's self centered at the very least, and definitely in the running for stupid.
Ceiling Cat will forgive you though.

- dlrudden, on 04/24/2008, -0/+5the water cooler conversations at that office must be dreadful
- joongee, on 04/24/2008, -3/+0Eh. I was under the impression that caturday preceded the usage of lolcat (I HATE this term for some reason). Anyway, not dugg for the overexposure of a once-funny-but-now-jaded meme. Mainstream is where memes go to die.
- s0nicfreak, on 04/24/2008, -5/+1Internet memes are officially not funny anymore
- Mutton, on 04/24/2008, -0/+2http://www.lol.cat
- BigMan13, on 04/24/2008, -3/+1Ugh. The bad grammar and spelling drive me up the wall. A cute picture of a cat doesn't make it better.
- MsArtGeek, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1interesting. do you get hungry when they ring the bell, too?
- MsArtGeek, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1interesting. do you get hungry when they ring the bell, too?
- _wayne_, on 04/24/2008, -1/+5Ever late to a meme, this is one of the websites I visit nearly every day. But I love cats. I officially love http://www.cuteoverload.com also. Not sure I'd want to work there, but it definitely brings a smile daily.
- MrViklund, on 04/24/2008, -2/+1Spell...
- robbiemuffin, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1anyone else discover for the first time that yahoo has advert-spam shortcuts inline in their content now?
IZ DESPIKABLEZ - SilverBack101, on 04/24/2008, -0/+4I can't imagine what the meetings are like. Everyone talking in Lolcat. Brrrrr.
- bagboyrebel, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1Cat ownership is not required, just "a great sense of humor, a deep understanding and love of the Internets and a strong work ethic."
if the person has a great sense of humor then why would they work with lolcats? - Action54, on 04/24/2008, -0/+1flu kittehs in your haus drinkin your sodas!
