Seriously? the i can haz cheezburger meme is worth millions?

[SunnyD]

wtf?

SEATTLE -- Three years ago Ben Huh visited a blog devoted to silly cat pictures -- and saw vast potential.

Mr. Huh, a 32-year-old entrepreneur, first became aware of I Can Has Cheezburger which pairs photos of cats with quirky captions, after it linked to his own pet blog. His site immediately crumbled under the resulting wave of visitors.

Man, if stupid is worth so much, I'm not sure why Anand hasn't been swimming around in cash like Scrooge McDuck by now.

The irony is that this thread is perpetuating the accumulation of his wealth and you wonder why. 😛

Guys lets copyright a series of other silly pictures and make millions...of theoretical dollars

"stupid" in a pathetic, emo, loser, gamer way just isn't funny.

When is the Fedora site coming online?

 

[nerp]

It's called web site advertising. Get the traffic, you can make money too.

 

[spidey07]

Somebody actually made a "i can haz cheeseburger" book. Wonder how many it sold?

Never underestimate the power of pictures of kitties or puppies.

It's all about hipster puppies.

did you read the article? it's not 'theoretical' money, guy is rolling in it.

i don't really see the 'story' in it, though. make lots of funny picture blogs, get good advertisers, make money. you can do it, too, if you want.

We'd need a verified alternator-sized fedora before that could happen.

Our first product: A fedora-shaped cereal bowl, with a coupon for one free box of Fruit Loops.

Saw that book at Borders a couple days ago. My 10 year old daughter loved it.

Chocolate Rain guy is worth more theoretical dollars. So is Dramatic Look Gopher and Star Wars Kid.

Internet dollars are so worth it...

That is until they all kill each other in a massive fight waiting for their checks. 😉

ATOT never invented anything that reached beyond its walls. Anything thought to have didn't actually originate from here.

Huh is one stupid last name.

I went to the site just now. The fact it makes enough money to employ 40 people is a damned tragedy, something we should all lament. Our world is fractured.
