(TLDs = Top Level Domains, like .com, .edu, .net. ICANN = Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is the organization that controls domain names. And if you're really unaware of what it's making fun of, or it's been six months and this fad has been forgotten, it's off the lolcats (wikipedia / cat macro internet... thing. See http://www.dropline.net/cats/ or http://icanhascheezburger.com/ or http://lolcats.com/.)

[edit]
O.O Someone made it into a programming language. Called LOLCode http://lolcode.com/
HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE
