Because, as David suggested earlier, based on "the deep inconse- quentiality of the change... the page in question will be a reliable detector of people who will fight to the death over trivia and so should not be let near anything actually important for any reason." At first I thought that a little harsh, but after reading through the bitter but stupefyingly pointless argumentation that's now at [[Wikipedia talk:Requests for rollback/Vote/Archive 1#Vandalism?]], I'm starting to see the wisdom...

You're looking too hard. It's very simple:

You think that's funny, but what was really funny was how someone created drama by trying to delete the Moar Drama pic under WP:BADPICS^W^Wbeing an attack pic on Cool Cat/White Cat.

You couldn't make this stuff up... Wikipedia may not be intended as a social experiment, but it really is a fascinating one.
I can think of many things related to rollback that make us look foolish, but the lolcat image is not at the top of the list.

For a good LOL, take a look at:

for a totally serious and earnest discussion about whether it should be "trout slapping" or "trout wacking".
