LOLmagnets turn your fridge into a land of poorly-spelled poetry

What's better than those little fridge magnets that you can rearrange to create poems or goofy sentences or inappropriate commands involving "butter" and "butts?" The LOL version of those little fridge magnets, of course. Continuing the grand tradition of LOLcats spin-off products, ThinkGeek is now selling LOLMagnetz, which can be placed directly over photos on any magnetic surface or assembled sans image to create amusing sentences such as "Lemme fiddle ur squirrl thx." Alternatively, you can place the LOL words directly onto items, such as gross-looking food, thereby labeling it appropriate yucky. Good times, good times.

While I love magnets and kitties as much as the next girl, I can't help but wonder if the whole LOL thing is beginning to jump the shark. It's like that really awesome song you can't get out of your head for a week, so you listen to it over and over. Then you hit a point, once you've heard it 73 times, that you realize you've totally gorged yourself and you don't want to hear it anymore. Ever. Well, at least for a couple months. But maybe that's just me...
