LOLBush

Some of you will already have come across this political commentary from the Guardian, highlighting some of George W. Bush's adventures in China during the Olympics.

Seeing this go through a mainstream (not technology) editorial flow (even if it appears to be online-only) seems to mark a new point in the development of LOLCats. I've known the Guardian Technology folks to be very hip to all things LOL, but this is mainstream coverage that goes beyond “Oh, look at those wacky geeks and their wacky humor.” It pretty much assumes you know what image macros are, or at least will find them funny on their own. LOLCats are entering the vernacular.

Step two, then, in LOL world domination would be a book. A little bird tells me that's coming, too…
