ROFL (Russian On The Floor, Laughing)

[merrily]

So, in my RSS feed today was a link to ROLcats, LOLcats with Russian captions, translated into English.

I suspect it's a prank, but it's a pretty funny one.

FOR EXAMPLE


Cat: I swear I spoke no ill of The Party!
Dog: Submit with honor, and you will earn a proper burial among your fathers

The translation for this one is definitely a prank. I'm no expert on translating, but I know март is the month of March. Running it through a rough translation on Google...

- Home now! It is not yet March!
- Let me go! March - this state of mind is not in this month! (My mind is not in this month, perhaps... I am thinking this could possibly be the cat wanting it to be the end of winter.)

Literally, word for word --

- Home immediately! March is not yet soon!
- Let me now!!!! March - this is not the month, this - state of mind!

Ha ha, yeah, I stink at this. :D

Also, the backwards R stands for 'ya.' If they wanted to be correct, they'd call their site polcats (or, to be even more proper, ролкатс). Okay, I'll stop now. :D

yeah, i don't think any of them are actual translations, but they're very funny.

Oh, so sad! Not only is it a prank, it isn't even a prank based on real ROLcats. (Are there such things?)
