This is not a laughing matter -- let alone a lol one.
Looking forward to the new Geometry Wars: Galaxies?
A video game with "geometry" in the title -- who wouldn't?
Well, as if that wasn't enough to ensnare any high schooler, they've also got a lolcats ad campaign.
Highlights include this poorly-photoshopped tv with angry cat:
A cat looking bored as hell while its owner games like a champ (not a good sign):
And the ever-popular demon cat. Look closely, part of its tail appears to be severed. That ain't right:
As if it wasn't enough to take this dated Internet meme and produce some exceptionally unfunny ads, they even botched the lolcat syntax. Didn't one of these advertisers have a 14 year old they could have called over to "help daddy make an ad?"
Once this appears in AdAge and the rest of the advertising world jumps on the bandwagon, it'll stop being cool. And then what will be the next sell-out Internet meme? Hmm...
Big tip o' the hat to S.I. for sending me teh lols.
