Starting Wednesday, fans of the 'cheezy' Internet phenomenon LOLcats will be able to get updates of the funny, iconic felines from their cell phones. (I bet you thought I was going to say "from soda bottles.")

That's right. With a little help from Frengo, the company behind the popular Facebook app, Flirtable, I Can Has Cheezburger will be pushing daily updates of the newest LOLcat via text and the mobile Web, transcoded from Frengo's servers. The functionality is simple, but sensibly actionable. Users can view past images and share image links with friends via text.

To get started, text 'LOL' to 44566 and follow the link the the poster kitten of the day. Or, visit http://frengo.com/ichc/ from your mobile browser. I'm hooked already.

LOLCats is an abomination. It may be the creepiest, least funny diversion ever spawned. It should be illegal; the person who came up with the idea should be publicly humiliated, and all those who've wasted their time with this nonsense should be sentenced to do something useful, like volunteering at a children's' hospital or working with a nonprofit to end world hunger.
