I can has cheezburger ... and pathos?

The lolcats, the Internet's most famous felines, may be hilarious. But in their yearning, I see nothing less than the tragedy of the human condition.

    We need an "Over-Analysis" section for Salon.

    I'm curious. Does one of the editors here at Salon periodically sent out an email requesting someone find a shallow subject and over-analyze the living daylights out of it? That high school reunion article from a few weeks back was just like this: a light piece made extremely heavy by putting way way too much thought into it.

    By the way, I read those lolwhatever sites all the time and I love them, but my computer got a virus from one of the "icanhascheezburger" sites a couple weeks back. It was "virtumonde" which, although I didn't have any problems this time, I've had tons of problems with in the past. Be careful.
