I was going to point out this: Americans create such things through bad grammar, poor spelling, and internet idiocy. Russians write poetry.

I wouldn't quite call 'your printer cartridge is running low' poetry of the highest caliber. Maybe in Russia? _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles. -Children of Dune, attributed to Louis Veuillot

I picked one of the more base ones to translate in hopes that you Americans would understand.

Are they just not as funny? A lot of the humor is in the brevity... Is there Russian lolspeak? I thought I saw what might have been the Russian equivalent of "nom" on one of them. Maybe I can find the picture again. Also, those are some cute tonally increasing guinea pigs.
