Internet memes: LOLpigz

Are you guys familiar with internet memes? In boring human explanation: it's a concept that spreads through the internet (source: wikipedia). It can be a video, a hyperlink, a picture etcetera. What usually happens is that someone makes or does something and that other people pick up this concept and create their own stuff with it. Then they share it online and this is how it becomes social and a part of popular culture. And hence an internet meme is born.

A famous example is the LOLcatz meme. LOLcatz are picture of cats with misspelled titles, and usually (intended to be) funny. Since everything here is guinea pig, we found some LOLpigz for you ;-)

    This is one of Slave's favourites. We have it pinned up in our Gallery. One day she is going to dress one of us up like this and we are all going to hide. Look near the bottom of the page.

    Slave has seen a few of these! Piggies are better stars than cats in our opinion ;)

    There are a few more under the "lolpig" category - although some of the guineas have been mislabeled as hamsters. It seems some people can't tell the difference :\ nevertheless, here it is
