Look, I found the first ten thousand Lolcat images as funny as everybody else did, but there comes a time to draw a line, and I thinkCapcom has proven it. The Internet meme hasalready been assimilatedinto theHalo 3hype machine, but Capcom feels that itsPhoenix Wrightseries can exploit the overdone (and these days, quite uninspired) feline images for its own ends.
To this end, Capcom isrunning a contestin which all you have to do is place a Lolcat-style piece of text on aPhoenix Wrightimage. The funniest ones will receive prizes consisting of signed posters, plush toys and free copies ofPhoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials & Tribulations. Why, it’s so easy even my Dad could do it, and he’s missing, presumed dead!
Capcom is also running a “What Really Happened to Harvey?” contest which tasks entrants with the job of creating aHarvey Birdmancomic strip using handy templates. If you wantHarvey Birdmanbobbleheads, wall tins (whatever those are) and DVDs ofHarvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, you might be interested.
Back to the main story — can we just agree that the whole Lolcat craze peaked with “Let me show you my Pokemans” and come to terms with the fact that it’s been downhill from there?
