Calling all graph nerds and lolcat fans: GraphJam, the latest project from the duo behind I Can Haz Cheezburger?, wants your savvy pop-culture observations in visual form.
After stumbling across Jamphat, a site that takes concepts from rap songs and turns them into humorous graphs and charts, ICHC co-creators Tofuburger and Cheezburger knew they'd found their (next) calling.
"We thought it was hilarious," Cheezburger, aka Ben Huh, CEO of ICHC, said in a phone conversation. "So we reached out to [the creator of Jamphat] and asked him if we could apply the same concept to pop culture."
Unlike creating lolcats, which requires just a photo and a grasp of the broken English of kitty pidgin, GraphJam requires readers to come up with concepts and create pie charts, histograms and bar graphs. Daunting for sure, but the potential for moments of meme-genius is there.
Cheez estimated about 15 submissions come in each day -- not bad considering the site launched Monday.
GraphJam isn't the only new site up for perusal. For bureaucratic-minded lolcatters, the ICHC guys also decided to parlay the hundreds of government-themed creations they receive each day into Pundit Kitchen, a site best described as lolpoliticans.
