Lolpolitics
Nov 21, 2007 Author: Joanna | Filed under: Uncategorized
Well now, this is an odd one.
It looks like Flickr is host to a bizarre new breed of lolpics.
Loldeirdre is a user who has posted six pictures of councillor Deirdre Alden that have been lol-ed.
Is this a new phenomenon that will take off, I wonder. Are we set to see a lolNev, or a lolMike user appearing in future?!

Shouldn’t that title be Lolcal Politics?
LOL.
Strangely enough, the source images are from her blog.
Is there a Fake Deirdre blog hanging around somewhere a la Fake Steve?
Pete: yes, I bow to your superior wordplay.
Stef: Just checked out Deidre’s blog - so they are! No fake Deidre blogs yet that I can find, but I guess it’s a niche someone could fill if they were so inclined!!!
