There are lots of lolcat builders out there, but this is the only one I've used: http://builder.cheezburger.com/Builder

You're on your own for legally available images, though. I think the community consensus is that it doesn't matter because parody or whatever, which is not a legitimate legal defense, but I don't think anybody's been sued yet.

The builder seems great. Thousands of cat pictures!

I don't know what lolcats are, although I have seen Internet memes, and in the few moments I spent looking at the cat pictures, I did get some ideas...

Edit: Added ones I couldn't earlier, because other site wasn't working.

I love the marshmallow maximizer!

Perhaps it could serve as an educational example about how an Unfriendly AI might exploit our psychological weaknesses to make us accept horrible outcomes. :D

I don't have a rationality point, but I like the grumpy cat "joy in the merely real" one.

In the US it is a legitimate legal defense.

YMMV in your jurisdiction.

Right, sorry, that wasn't clear: parody is a defense, but I doubt it would work in this case because you're not parodying the material you used, you're just creating a funny derived work.
