Flamewars vs LOLCats
In this post myself gave me an idea I want to test. To do so, we need to start a flamewar, get it nice and hot, then have people on one side of the argument include lolcats in their posts (one lolcat per post but nice and big.) and see how this affects the argument with people free to post their thoughts on both the argument and the lolcats.
The reason for only having one side of an argument using the lolcat is that in other forums, a user could use lolcats to protect themselves and hopefully defuse an argument.
My theory is that the inclusion of lolcats in posts could be harnessed by way of an extension that allowed an administrator to flag a thread for lolbombing and the extension would place a lolcat at the top of each subsequent post.
Any ideas and/or sugestions?

The automatic lolbombing extension seems like it would be difficult to implement in a way that would produce not only lolcats, but appropriate ones.
We must lead a holy intelligent crusade! Onwards to Jerusalem 4chan.org/b/!
If anyone has an opinion that cannot be quantified through fact but they are sure that they are 100% in the right. Post now! If you are a hardcore fanboy (or hater) of anything, we need to you go on and on about how great and right you are.
Damn this forum, sappin' my ability to flame.
We need someone with teh flaming skillz.
(baseless, inflammatory, and with a dash of hypocrisy as well!)
Ok, heres one. I get really pissed off at the existence of consoles. Not, even that there are so many of them but that companies expect me to buy what is effectively a second computer and then tell me what I can and can't do with it. Why can't some company make a console that runs on an x86 processor so I can use it as a computer too? Fuck it, why do we have to buy so many different things and can't find one thing that does half the things it could?
While I'm at it, really bad English in anime. Seriously, Japan does so well learning English and then they have to throw this crap at them and make them expect it to be how people actually sound in the rest of the west.
Gah! It's always either lack of conviction or something no-one here would argue about. Now there's a start
To tie this in with anime as you complained about, Japanese and English are very different languages. If you natively speak Japanese you have a very hard time to properly pronounce English words due to the difference in alphabet. Just take the letter 'l' for example, most people in Japan pronounce it, or turn it, I don't know exactly, in an 'r'. And there's possibly a biological explanation as to how the vocal cords develop perhaps, but that's beyond my knowledge.
With that I bring forth, Omnutia, just give up. You will not be able to set up a properly flame war as it should be in these forums. I am most certain of this fact.
But to repeat for emphasis: You really can't force a flamewar.
You're just sore because you took my post seriously.
That's all I could think of. :P
