In a recent article, it is pointed out that kids are using chat speak more in schoolwork and essays. The scary part? Teachers aren't mortified or offended.
WTF is the world coming to when a kid can't tell the difference between a blog about his boring life and an essay? I mean, I say LOL and WTF in real life conversations, but I would never
EVER
use them in any classwork.
Good job kids, you are full of fail.

Kids, please, no LOL in your essays.
TURN UR CASH IN2 LION CASH!!!
A call to all internet citizens: When you get money, draw a lion on it.
Examples:
"From now on I'm going to add a lion to my bills... I wonder how long it will take for another b-tard to see one...
Conversely I wonder how long it would take for America to break if every b-tard puts lions on bills..."

He's got to be a psycho
His anger is scaring me. Someone just hack his account and shut this guy up.
I'M PAUL FETCH!!!! is now a meme.
But also this guy fails and is a Narutard:
So basically I hate everyone in this situation.
FFS, ICHCB
NEW YORK - "I can haz dream Job? My rezumez! let me showz u thm"
That's the subject line of a cover letter sent by a job applicant to I Can Has Cheezburger, one of the premier sites for so-called Lolcat pictures.
Don't think the letter will be rejected out of hand — bad spelling is no obstacle to a job in Lolcat world. It may even be an asset.
Read the rest
I'm not really sure how I feel about all of this. Cat macros are cute, so I get why they're famous, but what kind of fail news company is actually going to cover them?

420chan raiding Gaia
There's a war going on online, and it's between 420chan and Gaiaonline. It all started because Gaia stole some memes, such as longcat and tacgnol, as items you have to pay for with real money on Gaia. Some members of Anon flipped the hell out, and have gone so far as hacking admin accounts, and finding information on some kids on Gaia and sending parents and school officials things like child pornography.
I personally love 4chan (but dislike most other *chans aside from 2chan), but I also love Gaia (call me all the names you want). I think 420chan is being absolutely stupid, because you can't copyright an internet meme, especially so long after everyone started using it. I'm going to make some tacgnol or EFG shirts just to piss you all off.
Or at least I would if you hadn't hacked my Gaia account already. Yes, I was logged in, got a trade request, and when I went to accept my trade... MY PASSWORD DIDN'T WORK. I lol'd, and then changed my password.
You fuckers. :)
All in all, I don't know when or if this war will ever die down. I'm missing a lot of this story so if anyone from either side would like to fill me in I'd really appreciate it.
ETA: OMFG LONGCAT KEYCHAINS
