You know what's hard?

Trying to explain why I chuckle at LOLcats to my husband. Even if you have samples up on your computer to show him.

What's even harder? Explaining LOLcats to your 65 year old luddite mother who has been overheard to say, "Oh, did you do that on the online?"

Actually, I am more of a Cute Overload fan. "They" (you know -- them!) should do research to see if depressed people respond to Cute Overload. I mean, you'd probably change your mind about driving into an embankment if you just took even 5 minutes to check out the site.

And I'm not making light of depression. I'm making a serious point about the hidden power of cute animal pictures.
