Cute Overload! :)

May 19, 2007

What is this?

I was just on the C.O. chat and the topic of 'LOLCATS" came up. The consensus was we needed an LOL section of the site. Hmmmm. What do you think?

i support this: lesley; | May 19, 2007 at 11:07 PM

sure: M.; | May 19, 2007 at 11:07 PM

I don't know about that. I frequent both Cute Overload and icanhascheezburger.com (for their lolcats) and I'm inclined to believe that each has its own place on the internet. I love your site and wouldn't change a thing.: Jen; | May 19, 2007 at 11:09 PM

Big, resounding YES!!! We love you, Meg! Whoa ... C.O. & ICHC. Casting coup of the decade. I'm sooo for it!: Subhangi; | May 19, 2007 at 11:12 PM

I support whatever makes me Squeee with delight, bleen, laugh, awwww and explode with the cuteness!!!: Spryte808; | May 19, 2007 at 11:12 PM

Note though, that I wouldn't mind if CO didn't have a LOLpix section ... Oh wait, I see we have a LOLPIX category already.: Subhangi; | May 19, 2007 at 11:16 PM

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please do not infect Cute Overload with LOLcats!! They are funny SOMETIMES, but mostly are incredibly stupid, annoying and have disgusting typography and irritating intentional grammatical errors.: lauri; | May 19, 2007 at 11:46 PM

NO NO NO Terrible idea. The LOLcat as a concept is completely played out. Cute Overload is unique and perfect just the way it is, and bringing in a tired old meme like LOLcats can do nothing but dilute the cute. DON'T DO IT.: Guest; | May 19, 2007 at 11:47 PM

um that doesn't look very cute to me. It actually looks quite cruel. More kitty. Some one should help it out. Whoever put that kitty in must have been cruel. That iz not cute to me and 'no thanks, I'm stuffed doesn't sound appropriate. Instead, I think that 'O oh, I'm stuck! Help!' would be funnier and cuter: lil_cutey; | May 19, 2007 at 11:49 PM

Please, no LOLcats. There are plenty of other places for them. Just stick to over-the-top cuteness!: acelightning; | May 20, 2007 at 12:03 AM

Makes me wonder how comfortable that would be for the kitty. Or is it trick photography?: carole; | May 20, 2007 at 12:07 AM

There's a ton of Sites for this kind of thing, there's only one Site for unaltered pics of cute animals that I know of. Link to the LOLcats Pages, but refrain from making it a regular part of this Site, please.: fish eye no miko; | May 20, 2007 at 12:08 AM

Oh, please don't.: soda; | May 20, 2007 at 12:18 AM

Please not - lots off cats are not happy on those pictures, I`m not sure if stupid guys do bad things with kitties to make stupid photos ... Please noooo - cry - only cuties !: bend; | May 20, 2007 at 12:22 AM

Generally, I like innovation, but I agree with those who stay stick with teh cute and leave others to lol elsewhere.: Perf; | May 20, 2007 at 12:29 AM

Avoid LOLcats please. I enjoy the occasional LOLcat but I enjoy your site every single day because it is so much better the way it is.: KiWi; | May 20, 2007 at 12:36 AM

trying to think deeply ... I thought NO until I saw the Kitler kitty here: http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/in-ur-yardz-starten-a-gang.jpg Maybe an occasional LOLpet verrrrry selectively chosen by Meg will make everyone happy ...: HRH; | May 20, 2007 at 12:39 AM

I visit C.O. and icanhascheezburger.com DAILY and there are rarely overlapping images. Its nice, keeping them separate. Besides, there are SOOOO MANY LOLCATS that I think it would clog C.O. as opposed to paring down to ABSOLUTE CUTEST CUTENESS!! C.O. and ICHC are 2 different flavors of icecream. Mix and you'll lose the uniqueness of each.: mixie; | May 20, 2007 at 12:46 AM

We can't forget my very own LOLCat site! http://erroraccessdenied.com/funnyanimals Agreed, though, there's a place for everything, and everything in its place. CO should stay cute, not LOL.: Shadyman; | May 20, 2007 at 12:46 AM

Animals are best au natural, in my opinion. No clothes, no text--just them and, when possible, also a smaller version of them.: Dale; | May 20, 2007 at 12:49 AM

I found a song by a nearly famous funny musician about cat macros... I'm fairly new to the experience and I found the song hilarious... ICHC talked about it here; http://icanhascheezburger.com/2007/05/18/cat-macros-by-tom-smith/ ... and showed where you can download it free.: Kat; | May 20, 2007 at 01:05 AM

i also visit both CO and cheezburger daily, and while i love both, the only lol cats i'd want to see here are ones like this -- good (cute!) images, actually funny not-inside-joke, good looking text, etc. one of the reasons i love CO is that it's so well put together and polished! any lolcats that show up here should be the same, i think.: tangerine; | May 20, 2007 at 01:21 AM

I'm another who visits both sites frequently, and I'd prefer to see CO stay as it is. If I want lolcats, I can go to cheeseburger for 'em. If I get bored of 'em, CO will be my haven :): trixieleitz; | May 20, 2007 at 02:20 AM

We already have "I Can Has Cheezburger", I think cute overload should stick with traditional cute pics.: Cain; | May 20, 2007 at 03:42 AM

I love cute animals (especially kittens), and I LOVE lolcats... but I agree with most people above, that they should be kept separate. I come here when I want my cute (which is 100 times a day, duh), and I go to icanhascheezburger when I want to get my lol on.: Seifer; | May 20, 2007 at 03:46 AM

Only when it's INCREDIBLY cute. Otherwise, stick to linking to them in captions.: BrianMPLS; | May 20, 2007 at 03:57 AM

Please no lolkatz. I hate those things. Give me my cute without bad grammar superimposed on it.: Sarah; | May 20, 2007 at 04:40 AM

I'd agree with the commenters who say "Stick with what you do so well". I visit both here and ICHC - some people like the cute, some like the LULZ, and those of us who like both know where to look.: Trix; | May 20, 2007 at 04:40 AM

I vote no. The humor on CO is the unique Meg Frost Brand of Humor, which is separate from (and superior to) the LOLcat brand of humor. The Meg Frost Brand of Humor also does not involve stuffing kittehs into small containers, and I appreciate that.: maymee; | May 20, 2007 at 04:42 AM

Please no. I visit both sites and enjoy them both and it would be a shame if CO lost it's uniqueness adding in LOLCATS.: Linda; | May 20, 2007 at 05:11 AM

Yikes, no no no no no. The addition of idiotic words does not make the pictures any cuter.: pauldwaite; | May 20, 2007 at 05:17 AM

First time commenter chiming in to say "NO - please no Lolcats here at C.O.!!" I love ICHC, but I go there for Lolcats, and I come here for the Cute. Please keep C.O. merely for the Cute!: LN; | May 20, 2007 at 05:24 AM

plenty of peeps at the cat_macros lj community yank pics from cute overload quite frequently. some win, but most don't, but those that win do so very much with a hint of flavr.: adrianna; | May 20, 2007 at 05:24 AM

I've had a quick look at the cheezeburger site and it's pretty ordinary compared to CO. Not much cuteness and not very funny either. The other site is definately not one I would visit twice a day like a do with CO. (oh my, hope my family doesnt read this). SO I vote NO, keep CO as it is, although I could do with less pugs with sqwishd noses..eew.: Lil; | May 20, 2007 at 05:34 AM

I gotta chime in with the "NO LOLCATS ON CO!" crowd. I visit both Cuteoverload and I Can Has Cheezburger regularly, and the reason I love both sites so much is that they are so DIFFERENT. Let Meg's sense of humor remain Meg's, and let Cheezburger's sense of humor remain Cheezburger's. They each have their own special place on teh Intartubes. Let us keep it that way. Please. Please?: T; | May 20, 2007 at 05:40 AM

Yes! I totally support this. I love lolcats. :): Kelsey; | May 20, 2007 at 05:45 AM

I would vote no. The two sites are both great, and are each set up to do what they do well. Trying to be everything to everybody often results in being not much for anybody. Beware the restaurant that does both burritos and fried chicken!: Bob; | May 20, 2007 at 05:50 AM

Count me as another huge fan of both CO and ICHC (both are among my home page tabs on Firefox) who thinks that LOLz are not really right for CO. Occasionally, maybe (remember I'm in ur macaronis, warming my feetz? Good times.) but let them stay separate. CO is for my awwww, ICHC is for my heeee. YMMV.: elizabells; | May 20, 2007 at 06:02 AM

I go to both for different reasons! I say, don't fix what's not broken! :): Rio; | May 20, 2007 at 06:12 AM

Please don't. They're sometimes funny, sometimes cute, but we don't need further infection with this meme. I go to cuteoverload for cute pix, I *sometimes* go to lolcat-type sites for a shot of the absurd. I don't think they should mix.: Snowpea; | May 20, 2007 at 06:14 AM

Another vote for no - keep them separate. CO has its own thing and it does it SO well, why mess with it?: cass; | May 20, 2007 at 06:15 AM

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, what happened when Coke tried to be more like Pepsi? I am a daily visitor to both sites. I come here for cute and go there for funny. Don't change your format! There is no need. Don't compromise what makes your site unique!: China's Mom; | May 20, 2007 at 06:18 AM

I am going to join the chorus of NO THANK YOUs. The internet is saturated with macro sites, but there is only ONE CUTE OVERLOAD!!: Erin; | May 20, 2007 at 06:21 AM

I'm in ur commentz supportin ur lolcatz. Only the best, cutest, paw-picked lolcatz, obviously - as if you'd post anything else! The captions and comments here are one of the few things on the internet that really do make me laugh out loud on a regular basis, and I'm sure if you were to do it you'd do it very well. Plzkthx.: Loris; | May 20, 2007 at 06:33 AM

Another CO and cheezburger fan here, and I agree with the votes to keep them separate. I like having the totally different vibe from both places; when I'm feeling the need for cute and cuddly I come here. When I need a little more edginess and hip intarwebs geekiness, I hit up cheezburger. Lions don't try to be cheetahs. Please don't change a thing, Meg!: Pam; | May 20, 2007 at 06:48 AM

i also vote no. i love teh cute and i love teh cheez, but i love that they don't overlap. i'm also not sure how well the lolcatz type of speakins wood blend wif the redonkulous fronche accents and soft cronshe.: quacks; | May 20, 2007 at 06:50 AM

PLEASE, no.....: Trix; | May 20, 2007 at 06:59 AM

I think it spoils the picture to stick text directly on it. It's better beneath the picture, so we can read, but still use the picture unadulterated for wallpaper.: morecatslesslol; | May 20, 2007 at 07:21 AM

I also frequent both ICHC and CO daily. We don't need LOLcats here because of the great text that accompanies the pictures when presented. I vote for leaving CO as is.: Artruria; | May 20, 2007 at 07:22 AM

Absolutely not! I like Can I has Cheezburger, but I wouldn't want it infecting the cuteness of this site. Sometimes, the lolcats are NOT cute. Plus, you're totally overstepping another popular site. Stick to what you do best: CUTE!: verily; | May 20, 2007 at 07:26 AM
