io9
The only kinds of kittens we've really referred to here at io9 have been War Kittens, although there was a Laser Kittens entry that popped up during our Terminator photo contest, and we told you about Sex Kittens Go To College. However, as cute as they are, we've been dying for a meme to replace the lolcatz that have swept the nation. We need fret no longer. Check out a meme destined to spew forth from the bowels of other dimensions and onto our screens.
There's just something so perfectly absurd about combining a shambling horror with a cutesy saying that gets to us. It might be hard to take a tentacled beast that has come for your soul seriously after seeing some of these, but we wouldn't mind seeing them pop up as comments from time to time. There's a bunch already up at the Lolthulhu website, and you should feel free to make your own. Of course, it's a lot easier to find a picture of a cat doing something strange that it is to find a photo of a Shoggoth. [Thanks, Kit!]

You forgot melancholy space kitten that kills and discards all lonely space travelers like yesterday's garbage. My favorite scifi kitty of all.
How maany times do I have to tell you? Cthulhu has come to save humanity.
OK, that made my day.
Makes me smile way bigger than LOLCats.
Ahhh, THANKS! Good to see somebody's paying attention.
Good morning.
@ratlas: Or to win the upcoming elections.
Cthulhu 08 - Why vote for the lesser evil?
INVISBUL DETH YOYO!
This and a few klonopin will improve my morn.
No.
I say again, no.
Please do not pollute the human conscience with any more crap like this. Though it is infinitely better than LOLcatz, this is still just painful to look at.
All You Base was funny, because it was unintentional. Anything involving the LOLcatz makes me want to swallow dirty hypodermic needles while wrestling with Magic Johnson in bardwire. It is so forced and... you know what, never mind.
The ONLY reason this has any value is that, like Kevin said, it is so absurd that I think it does more to make fun of those stupid cats than it does in taking itself seriously as a new kind of joke.
@zenpoet: I can haz sense of humor?
@zenpoet: I iz in UR <3 & I iz cold.
I can haz Tori?
This is what happens when Tori Spelling makes a Cthulhu movie.
@Guizzy: I like to pretend that I have a sense of humor, but for some reason I just get violently angry whenever I see one of those stupid cats.
I don't care if I am the only person who feels that way, but I will sit here and gleefully decry this trend like a crusty old man yells at kids on the lawn.
I can has piszed off?
I feel the same way about the lolcatz as I do about Britney. As long as we stop talking about them and pretend like they don't exist they will begin to fall out of existence. Even hating is furthering their existence.
Also this picture is awesome.
Ah! Excellent! My tip has paid off! It's all falling into place! Muwahahahaha!
You can't make a meme, that's not how it works.

Cthulhu and Davey Jones (from Pirates)...separated at birth? Or did Cthulhu just play Jones in the movie?
As a devoted Cthulhu worshipper and PR spokesman I just have to say that by doing this you are only seeding your own doom for Cthulhu will not stand for this abomination! Repent now and you won't be driven mad when you see him face to face!
Cthulhu fhtagn!!
@rfreeman57: Don't forget the giant cephalopod (Kraken) that Davy Jones sent after the Black Pearl.
yay for cthulhu!
I'm glad it wasn't just me. I've been planning "I brought you a soul, but I ated it" for a while now. Oh well, i guess I'll just have to enjoy someone else's creativity.
