I'm really absorbed in lolcats these days. Wikipedia explains:
Lolcats, a compound of lol and cat, are photos of cats with humorous captions.
(*snip*)
They are usually intentionally grammatically incorrect, with errors in spelling and syntax featuring "strangely-conjugated verbs".
I have seen lolcats freaquently here and then recently, though don't know precisely from when they have been talked about by the people on the Net.
It's the typical one of them which you see at the right side of this post. They're so cute and funny, even for such people as me who can't use English well. You can see more at I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER? There're some sub-genres of them. I like especially one of them which forms "INVISIBLE SOMETHING", for example, INVISIBLE MAGIC EYE PICTURE, YOU CAN'T SEE ME. I'M INVISIBLE, etc
This post explains the movement in detail. lolcats seem to originate in subcultures on the net like leetspeak and image macro.
