It's Kross. He's a fan of dear ol' Grumpy Cat it seems.

OT- I have no fecking idea. It's one of those memes that just spring into existence without any reason. That's what I've got anyway.

Ah, see this is why I love the Tech Team :D

Anyway, my guess is that people like it because they find the use of it funny in certain situations.

I like how everyone has a Grumpy Cat avatar just to show OP how wrong he is.

The appeal is that you can appear to be funny without putting forth the effort to actually be funny. That is the appeal of all memes that have ever existed. Also whoever suggested changing all of the avatars to grumpy cat has my undying despisal.

Question: Why couldn't you put "Grumpy Cat?" in the topic's title rather than leaving it off with a "..."?

Answer to your question: It's a frickin' meme...by definition it has no explanation. While you're at it, you might as well ask what the appeal of Planking is.

Hahah, it's funny because everyone switched their avatars to troll him!

Starting to get creepy, but whatever.

Edit: Hey! I am a proud member of the rebel alliance and not a grumpy cat groupie, thanks!

The only explanation I have (and I mean this in the nicest possible way) is that the internet is full of retards who will mindlessly buy anything or do anything to cash in on the current 'Meme flavour of the month'. The best you can do is just ignore it until the well dries up and the next meme takes its place.

And suddenly... Grumpy cats. Grumpy cats everywhere!

Also it's a meme. Shame on you for not liking random images that gets viral!

Yeah, would be a lot better with a more specific title.
