One would think that if cats could speak, it wouldn't be like some short bus riding, hand chewing drool factory. It would be like a Victorian Briton of some kind. With a tail. Dogs though, now they're retarded.

I come to kotaku every day and ICHC only once a week. However I read each and every lolcat. Here on Kotaku I read only 1 out of every 10 stories, and that's only on a good day.

@Liopleurodon:

What I'm saying is that you seem to be taking it all too seriously, perhaps more seriously than the Kotaku guys themselves.

What I was also saying is that your picture was too funny (score!) to be taken as an insult, and that your name is the only thing that gives you away as someone who isn't "in on the joke" (since my other analogy was too much for you to process).

Lastly, I found the comment section to be annoying, but it's not the decline of western civilization as you try to make it out to be. Do you honestly think those people write like that anywhere else? I've tried my hand at catspeek in the past (jokingly) and it takes concentration to write that bad.

I lot of us like Kotaku a lot, but you don't see us with out panties in a wad over it. A silly passing comment, like mine, shouldn't need this much explanation.... I'm getting the feeling you're a career forum debater.

Billkwando

zomg, beat by pussys...

karmakid

@RPGr: I never treated them like "mommy," my mother did that. :|

@Witzbold: Hell no, the little shits stayed nowhere near anything of mine, especially my jackets and including the consoles too. The bathroom on the other hand is out of my control though.

Trowble (XBL/PSN)

I voted for Kotaku in the category it was in, and then Chzbrgr for one of the other categories. Best of both worlds! :D

Tsuzu

Couldn't one have predicted this from the stats/traffic? More people read ICHC than Kotaku, after all, so even if every Kotaku-ite voted for K, ICHC would win.

I kinda agree that ICHC isn't a blog so much as just a website, but the distinction has been muddled. The ICHC people don't even generate their own content, and rarely link to outside stuff.

I voted K even though (as you can tell from my user name) I loves me some kitties. One console, 2 cats, and a laptop with a keyboard full of fur.

Sometimes you need gaming news and Night Notes. Sometimes you need LOLCats and bukkits.

Evil Tortie's Mom

Of course. Despite my attempt they will not allow it to make voting. Typical bias opinion from a website that gets to screen their own content. If it has any negative impact on their end (i.e., the truth) they will not allow it. Sorry Kotaku but this is a much larger force to be reckoned with. A bunch of morons and a simple script will soon dominate the world, until one day it is standard to enter the drive-thru at McDonald's and say "I can has cheezeburger n fry? how boot cookeh?". A sad sad world this one has become.

Liopleurodon

You mean. I has flavor too?

ICHC > Kotaku

I check both everyday... several times everyday but only one makes me a better person!

syl1985

Aw, look at the cute little kitty. Puppies are better, though. Kotaku for 2009!

KM91

As much as I love Kotaku... them cats iz funny.

Islandkiwi

@Billkwando: I honestly see no relation to what you are saying and what has been said. Is it wrong of me to be upset that 500,000 people daily enjoy this even so far as to even speak like that in comments? Half a million minds lost at sea.

Liopleurodon

I LIKED IT BETTER BEFORE WHEN IT WAS CALLED CATURDAY

The Cat With Two Heads

I voted for Kotaku out of pity, we all knew the cats would win though...

The one with the cat saying his pee froze but he wasn't done yet was teh awesomenesssauce.

Pezdispenser

Well it looks like the people who read Kotaku were busy playing videogames instead of voting.

nox

@Liopleurodon:

Only in the "Get off my lawn!" sense.

Billkwando

I voted for can i has cheese burger because quite frankly kittens > *.

chiefpoopingpants

Why did the cats win??? Simple. All cats are ninjas!

jmsalal

LOL cats are easily accessible in mah menu bar

Ptolemy

I'm so sick of this crap.

*writes them off* Yeah, they're gone.

xMaverick

I remember when stuff like that used to be funny. I think it was before the chans sucked. Then again those have sucked since the Carter administration...

Anemone

The whole caturday vs lolcats thing is why I don't trust wikipedia anymore. The meme was good for something :)

durrem

@Billkwando: Old? Ha..

Liopleurodon

@Liopleurodon: You passed sardonic and went straight to funny. Your username is the only thing that gives you away as "the old dude who don't get it".

Billkwando

@GUNDAM-RX-78-2: If fitting in is lowering yourself to that of an uneducated fool, then I suppose more power to them. Just to share how dumbfounded I am, I decided to use their own means of fitting in, against them. Hopefully it can save a few souls.

[mine.icanhascheezburger.com]

Liopleurodon

I think kotaku needs a mascot ASAP

cebukid

@Liopleurodon: I think they do it on purpose you know to fit in, it would be funny to see people in the street talking like that though.

GUNDAM-RX-78-2-Still HATES! God of War 1

@Trowble (XBL/PSN): So do they warm up next to your 360 when its on killing the airflow?

I bet you must enjoy cleaning the fur out of the 360 + PS3 eh? ;D

Seeing how the PS3 is like a dust magnet or something. Static field?

Witzbold

What is even more sad is the fact that everyone on ICHC speaks like these captions. Look at any of the comments and it sounds like a festering cesspool of inbred retards living in a nuclear reactor. Pure idiocy at it's finest. Disgusting in nature. I am ashamed to even be living in the same plane of existence as these fools.

Liopleurodon

@Trowble (XBL/PSN): You need to teach cats to respect you and your stuff. Unfortunately you have to do it early in their lives. As kittens as long as you act like "mommy" and pick them up by the scruff of their necks when they do something bad they do learn.

Once they pass the age of 2 though, it's much harder to teach them.

RPGr

This is funny. I didn't know Cheezburger was technically a blog. Just because you made your site in a blog format doesn't make it a blog. As much as I love lolcats, Cheezburger is missing the "log" part of "web log".

@FoxHoundADAM:

Couldn't he have been joking?

Billkwando

SRY KOTAKU. MAYBE ULL WIN NEXT YER? K THX BAI

NoFunShogun

kotaku... *sigh*
[images.icanhascheezburger.com]

Seita

Possibly mentioned already, but if you really concentrate Plunkett spelled out that caption exactly how Bruce from Family Guy would pronounce it. If you don't know who Bruce is, don't feel bad, I'm pretty sure it was only mentioned once.

BoffrO

Butz they arez so FUUUNYY AAHAHAHAAHAH!11111 :D

Mlata

I have 6 cats in the house and 3 consoles. I think it's clear they should have been the winner, even if the Chinese part of me wants to make Chicken and Broccoli out of them every now and then because the little shits seem to think the bathtub is the kitty litter and get fur all over the damn place. Yea, the cats are the clear winners here.

Trowble (XBL/PSN)

Wow... kittenz win teh intarweb.

Why... why is it THAT big? I saw lolcats in Time magazine months ago! Doesn't it get old?

...what if it doesn't? Kittens everywhere... the horror! THE FUZZY DOOOOOOM

fuchikoma

Cat posts > cake posts. Confirmed. :)

Robert Summa

Is it any surprise the cats won? Just look at the kittybug entry in the Insecticide competition.

cactaur

Pictures of cats with fictitious, poorly spelled quotes is the new close-ups of animals using a wide angle lens.

Pinhead

@ShaggE:
And why would they? That'd be like ebaumsworld saying "hey, we aggregate content from other sites and don't do much to let you know it's not our original content." =/

Man, I hate ICHC.

StupidDufus

Don't agree with the award but there are some pictures that made me giggle. Sorry!

IronsUK

Why would anyone waste a vote on this blog though, seriously? At least ICHC has a modicum of humour about it, this blog is just "We are better than you, period", using sarcasm and condescension whenever they please (ironically, considering most of the posts have appalling grammar and spelling). And when a user decides to inform them of this, or make a sarcastic comment themselves - oops, banned! Which is really quite hilarious seeing as they go on a faux moral crusade against the "Do as I say, not as I do" attitude of game-hating politicians. They're content in letting pointless, non-contributory posts like "Awesome!", "Great post!", "I love you X editor!" flood the sites in a wonderful show of ego stroking, but anyone who expresses discontent is immediately silenced.
This is a blog that only cares about getting "The scoop" before everyone else, and damn whoever pulls them up on their poor journalism acumen, whether another blog or a simple user, users that have made the blog what it is. I really don't understand the popularity.

Vermillionaire

I voted for you guys, but that captcha code got me stumped for the longest. Don't use a mobile device with mobile flash to vote. It takes forever.

ph15h

...I forgot to vote... SORRY

goldwings

@mexxxant: So... if someone's sense of humor isn't the same as yours, they simply don't have a sense of humor? Well, shit. Send me a list of what you find funny/ not funny, so that one day lowly peons such as myself may come in reaching distance of the splendor that is Mexxxant.

For when the sun sets at night, I weep... NAY! I bawl! Knowing that I dared to chuckle at a cat. How dare I decide for myself what to be entertained by? When I meander aimlessly through the city streets, the children point and stare at the man who laughed at a cat... and woe am I, for it has been deemed by the overlords of the internet to be oldmeme.

One day we may be rid of that dreadful "individuality", but for now I am just another carrier of the disease.

ShaggE

I'm a vegetarian just so I can save up karma points and spend them nailing rolling pins into the mouths of stupid little cats like that.

Pathetic feline bastards...

Spadgy

South Park predicted as much remember "Puppies close up with a wide angle lens." For FUCK SAKE Kotaku, game posts aren't exactly high journalism but Blogs will never be taken seriously when that kind of crap wins awards.

PJK

Kotaku sure could do with more kittens in their posts.

aelfin

As a Scottish Fold owner, I love the picture!!

jay427

If Kotaku staff going to wear cat ears for the whole year, then yeah maybe they can haz 2009 Bloggie.

Mayu-mayu

I can't see how icanhascheezebuger and kotaku are even comparable. Personally I love them both. For what they do there is nothing better. You want gaming news you go to Kotaku... you want cute kittens and walruses with hilarious lolspeak... you go to ICHC.

Adam

Kotaku is the best!

Forget that I Can Has Cheezeburger junk. Ran by nothing but ambivalent retards.

Liopleurodon

Those things have never, ever, ever been funny.

It was somewhat amusing when this was still in 4chan and the captions were actual English. But even then it started to get a little bit old.

I have had my fill of retard-ese, but at least I now know just who has and who does not have a sense of humour - and no, this is not funny, this is just old and done.

mexxxant

So I'm guessing the kitties won? I visit both sites on an equal basis so this would've been a hard choice for me...

kupoporo

@armchairnixon: wishes he had Xbox Live...: Wait, hes the one with the sideburns, right ??

Dude From Dubai

I really don't get what the appeal is to lolcats and ICHCB. Okay, they're adorable kittens... and?

I visit Kotaku more than any other site on the 'nets. Cut me and I bleed uh... pink and green?

SilentPredator

I would have voted for cheezburger too. No offense, but Crecente's not exactly what I'd call "cute." :P

armchairnixon: wishes he had Xbox Live...

Yeah, ICHC doesn't really count as a blog in my book so much as it counts as that thing that jumped the shark about six or seven months ago. When even my mom is talking about it (to say nothing of my friend who is perpetually sending me links to assorted have-been-around-forever blogs) then the thing is officially no longer funny.

TomSkylark

damn, and kotaku wouldve won if it weren't for those meddling cats

featherblade360

i love me some cheezburger.. but yeah. not exactly blogtastic. hell, kotaku even has news sometimes. <3

geekgrrl

I'll be honest, I voted for ICHCB

Struct09

I'd like to say:
I called it.
I said that they were going to lose to I can haz cheezeburger, and I was right.

I can haz internets wins now?

Kirbytheslayer: In-Kirby XMB

I have to admit, sometimes those damn cheezeberger things are pretty funny. I guess they all aren't actually cats either, I clicked the link and there was all kinds of weird stuff. Still, Kotaku should have won.

Gray665

@KaneRobot: I know the origins of the original Caturday, and have contributed to it in it's place of birth. But ICHC is still good for a laugh.

(My only problem is, it seems like the ICHC folks aren't really rushing to make it clear that they took the idea from 4Chan.)

ShaggE

@sanyo: zippocat let me introduce you to the FBI, jail buddies and psyche ward.

RPGr

All I can say is...

lowest common denominator

hondo

I voted for Kotaku, but I can haz cheezburger was still the winner in my heart :P

bonecows

It's true icanhascheeseburger >>>>>> Kotaku. No contest. And I'm dead serious.

At least there's no whinney Bashcraft there.

FoxHoundADAM

I have to say, while I love this whole "Video Game" thing at 60 years old or so its still a bit of a fad, Kittens are hundreds of thousands of years ahead at being cute and generally indispensible (until they mature into their despised Adult form :G:), Kotaku has a long way to go before it can compete :P

DaiMacculate

Dear icanhascheezeburger, let me introduce you to zippocat.

sanyo

sorry guys, I voted for the consumerist.

i suppose reading it can help me out in a pinch better than the vidya.

ManjiKengo

@ImCowman: Were you thinking right?

KaneRobot

@KaneRobot: Damn, and here I was thinking I was a guy who despised that music....

I didnt vote, but I wouldnt have been able to choose anyway. I love both the sites, just in completely different ways.

ImCowman

And you know how to kill kittens, right? (Faptastic!)

SigmundTheSeaMonster

@Seiven: Sorry its been sold to buy Fahey a new catsuit in Second Life.

Witzbold

I tried keeping a kitten once, but its tendency to poop on my bar counter and on my bar stools...followed by peeing at every corner of my house...

IT HAD TO DIE!

Banedon38

I love me some cat macros, but Kotaku has my heart...no seriously, give it back...I mean it.

Seiven

kittens FTW!

Priboi

Proof that you should have given more coverage to the Nyatendo cat.

RPGr

Kotaku and Cheezburger are next to each other in my feedreader. Can't go a day w/o either one.

eugaet

@KaneRobot: Trying to catch up with the 4chan mentality is like inhaling paint fumes to kill enough brain cells to be eligible for the Special Olympics.

unicronband

That kitten is against everything the free world stands for, bring the firing squads!

Ulquiorra

i voted for the cats.

cooler_d00d

This lolcats/icanhascheezburger crap is the rest of the internet trying to catch up to the 4chan/YTMND/etc mentality. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up to you.

This is like the Hot Topic of internet fads. Girls who listen to John Mayer and buy Gwen Stefani-labeled apparel find stuff like this drop-dead hilarious.

So yeah. If you see a cat, kick it. Or whatever.

KaneRobot

Kittens + stir-fry = tasty!

jayntampa

Booooo! I voted for ya KOTAKU.

Surlaw-the-Mai

You lost against a "blog" which is just filled cute cats with misspelled sayings (which should be funny or cute or whatever)?!

Hard competition!

"KE"

It just shows what a stand-up crowd we have surfing the internet. :x

Witzbold

Mebbe you just need more badly written captions?

'Cause nobody's sick of that particular part of the meme yet..

incompleteunit

Kotaku can haz 2009 Bloggee?

I hate kittens.

Assholes.
