This dog is wearing a cardboard Star Trek Enterprise costume with Bud Light cans as warp nacelles. This is a sea horse. This pony has a condo. Your argument is invalid.
The cheezburger guys are getting desperate for new memes to exploit.

Oh, you know, I'd love to say, "Snarf snark hurf durf I this this is lame-tacular and you're dumb for liking these," but I can't. I know I'm old and this is supposed to be pseudo-hip and irono-funny, but stupid pictures with dorky captions make me laugh. Just like New Yorker cartoons.

I think a lot of these pictures would be a lot funnier without the text. The single connecting caption doesn't even make that much sense (and not in a way that's absurdly funny). I bet this dude I work with is going to be all over this website in like a month though, if his adoption of the roomba cat is any indication.

Don't want to rush in here in defence, though the half-hearted amusement the[first few of the]se raised was undeniably amusement all the same.
However, the misspellings are from user submissions and the site's owner can't be held responsible. On the other hand, he (because let's face it, what are the bets that it's a he?) did choose the stupid, screen-filling banner and the picture of the dick in the baseball cap.
