The LOLCat Bible Translation Project is a wiki-based website set up in July 2007 by Martin Grondin, where editors aim to parody the entire Bible in "LOLspeak", the slang popularized by the LOLcat Internet phenomenon.[3] The project relies on contributors to adapt passages. As of March 27, 2008, approximately 61% of the text had been adapted, and Grondin had stated that he hopes the entire New Testament would be complete by the end of 2008.[4]

A book version of the website was released in 2010, containing selected extracts such as the stories of the creation of the earth, Adam and Eve, and Noah.[5]

Writing process

In the process of adaptation, various changes are being made to the source material, for example, changing the main characters to cats – e.g., Jesus Christ becomes "Happy Cat," God the "Ceiling Cat," and Satan the "Basement Cat" – while the "gifts" and "blessings" of God have become "cheezburgerz", and people in general have become "kittehs".[4][6] The style of writing employed varies, but the most devoted contributors have been described as those who utilize as many as possible of the gags and themes used in the different lolcat images.[4]

Unlike most Bible translation efforts, the LOLCat Bible Translation Project does not depend on one or a group of prominent individual translators, but on crowdsourced translation. Untranslated sections are available for translation by anyone willing to register on the wiki. The current most active members of that crowd are listed on the project's Active users list.[7]

Critical response

The project has been praised by Ben Huh, owner of the website that popularized lolcats,[8] icanhascheezburger.com, who noted that the LOLCat Bible had inspired other religious texts to be translated into LOLspeak, such as the Qur'an, and that it has made clear that "the ability to publish is now open to anyone".[4] An editorial in the Chicago Tribune commented, "The effort to translate the Bible into a language full of grammatical errors, hacker acronyms and Internet lingo may appear distasteful or blasphemous to some, but not to worry. Much of the translation only loosely follows the Bible. It's crowded with references to lolcats pictures and to ambiguous Internet humor, and these references can only be understood by people who spend too much time on the Web."[9]

Notes

1. ^As evidenced by the quotations given, it is incorrect to speak of a "textual basis" in the usual sense (such as the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece, or even "varied English Bible translations and LOL-cat memes", albeit the latter is likely accurate).
2. ^Into "LOL-speak", a highly ungrammatical and misspelled form of internet humor and internet slang. Only very loosely based in the Biblical narrative, but instead a derivative work inspired by the Bible, full of references to the "LOL-cats" internet memes (see below reference); thus not a translation or paraphrase of the actual Biblical text, as evidenced by the quotation of Genesis given, which bears no resemblance to any actual passage in Genesis.
