WARNING: can't vouch for the ads on the site, and some of the abbreviations are in poor taste. Well, I mean of course, besides the whole thing being in poor taste. Srsly.
Examples

How sad that someone would waste so much time doing something like this; even sadder that there is apparently a market for this kind of stuff?
Yet another example of someone coming in such close, prolonged contact with the Truth, yet seemingly remaining unaffected by it....
Ahhhhh, but for the grace of our Sovereign Lord, there go I....
This whole lolcat thing is just dumb. So mix dumb cultural stuff with eternal Truth and what do you get? I'm not so sure, but it isn't useful.
Lovely.
No doubt the Bizarro World Bible press will be publishing the full version shortly, along with the Dr. Seuss series of commentaries.
And I was just getting over my post-Thanksgiving indigestion...
Oh my. It is indeed both sad and dumb. It makes the Bible far less comprehensible and is really disrespectful. I can get a verse or two as a joke in poor taste, but this really went too far.
Ceiling Cat?
/me shakes head in disbelief
Well look on the bright side. If someone ever decides to do an acronym translation of the Bible, Dan can help out!
Plus, it will do well with cell phones.
Wow!
Lighten up. I have read FAR worse "translations" than this.
Just try out your Christian bookstore.
At least this one made me laff.
srsly.
I feel very bad about it, and you may commence making stern faces at me, but I did find 'it maek me so kumfy' amusing.
After 3:30, when my son has arrived home from school, put his books away and had his snack, I will occasionally hear profuse laughter coming from the family room. He is viewing lolcat pictures. He loves the pictures. I don't think he's seen the bible thing.
I've got one word for that: ugh. First time I read about it it just ticked me off...people can be so disrespectful...
You weren't joking about the advertising, Dan, were you.
oh ok. Now I know what Lolcat is. Kim mentioned pics so I checked some out. I thought it was a cartoon character.
If you like cats at all, Candy, this is actually a pretty fun site.
I think James Joyce already did this in "Finnegans Wake."

*sigh*
I like lolcatz, but this....
I'll say this much, it makes more sense than the reading I heard last Saturday at my grandmothers funeral using "The Message". :(
