demotivational posters funny
I Can Has Cheezburger? (ICHC for short) is the name of a weblog featuring lolcats, which are pictures of cats or other animals with captions, paired for humor value. It was created in 2007 by Eric Nakagawa (Cheezburger), a blogger from Hawaii and his girlfriend, Kari Unebasami (Tofuburger). The website is one of the most popular internet sites displaying lolcats receiving as many as 1,500,000 hits per day. ICHC was instrumental in bringing animal-based image macros and lolspeak into mainstream usage. The site attempts to maintain a community feel, encouraging interactivity with readers via a voting system where users can rate an image from one to five "cheezburgers," and through themes as one image will attract responses to form a continuous narrative. According to Nakagawa, "It's like you're creating a story supplied by people in the community, and then the people in the community supply the next part of the story." ICHC also hosts a wiki known as "The Lolspeak Wiki" designed to be a collection of important lolspeak phrases. With the Basic Builder, the image is captioned by placing a certain size, font, and color of text on the top, middle, or bottom of the photo. Different styles, effects, and opacity values can also be applied. With the Advanced Builder, the same text formatting is used, but the text can be placed in more specific areas of the image by using a text box. Both the title and the subtitle can use a specific font, style, and color. Also, eyes can be added anywhere on the picture in the same manner as the textboxes and speech and thought bubbles, with a large depth of customization. Once the caption is finished, it is either saved on a URL or added to the user's account, if they have one. Other users can then view the "LOL" by using the URL, or the LOL can be saved to a user account, where other users can view the LOL from the creator's page. Also, if the LOL has been saved to an account, it has a possibility of making it to one of the site's front pages. Creating images mimicking a breaking news report is also possible using the Breaking News Builder. It consists of a title, which is "Breaking News" by default, and the headline, at the bottom of the image, similar to that which is used on television news shows.
