Yeah, that's right, frogs! No cats allowed! Or pictures of cats, for that matter! Just frogs! And frog pictures!

No. No thank you. Sorry. Not a good idea in my book.

Watch this thing get flooded with pictures of Crazy Frog AKA The Annoying Thing. Not good...

Dude, why is it okay that a cat thread can be made, but a frog one can't?

No offence to cat owners or Luigison of course. I just don't understand why Glorb can't admire his favorite animal in his own thread.

Luigison: Question everything!
Me: Why?

The fact that Glorb likes frogs (and the fact that Luigison made a cat thread) is not the problem here.

The problem here is that "parody" threads are pretty annoying, unless it's really funny or is actually a worthy thread.

Another problem is that I don't think many people will post in this thread anyway. I don't have a problem with Luigison's thread because cats are a very popular pet and are already somewhat an internet phenomenon. Frogs, not so much.

I agree with bobman37. Parody threads are hard to make, and require a good amount of effort (see Which of these cats would you drive?, a parody of Which of these cars would you drive?) to be funny. This one isn't.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

So, only dumb Internet phenomenons are allowed in dumb joke threads? Besides, frogs rock. They're cuter than cats.

It isn't funny because you didn't make the thread out of humor. It's obvious that you made this just because you hate cats.

Luigison's thread is not really a joke thread, it's somewhat original (on these forums). The "dumb" part is arguable depending on personal opinion.

This one is a joke thread. Again, the "dumb" part being arguable. I think you already know my side of the "dumb" argument.

A. Emoticons don't constitute posts.
B. Kermit isn't fat.
C. If anyone found my post offensive, I mean well.... no one was laughing from the thread, and I saw an opening...
D. There aren't so many frog pictures on the Internet, and even fewer have room for things like we get from cat pictures. They don't do as crazy of stuff. But, yes, amphibians are pretty awesome. I've wanted a salamander for the longest time. That is to say, I wanted a salamander the longest time ago. You know how these things are.
Edit: Well, they don't.

Frogs are boring. Turtles are where it's at, although there aren't many macros of them either...

Well, I can definitely understand that in threads where the subject is not of lolcats.

I like to see text accompanying pictures of anything, even in such threads.

And if the subject is lolcats, it should be in FG&S.

I thought it was useful. (One fun thing you can do with it is try to go through an entire level spinning inside the shell. Obviously this is impossible in some levels.)
