After a few years of posting these to his website, his images were discovered by a website called <a href=http://www.syberpunk.com/cgi-bin/index.pl>Syberpunk</a> and rose to national mainstream attention in the U.S. a picture of Oolong was featured in the story &#8220;Prospecting For Gold Among the Photo Blogs&#8221; published in The New york Times on <a href=http://sokaisha.hp.infoseek.co.jp/030526/030526.htm>May 25th, 2003</a>.</p> <p>Over the course of Oolong&#8217;s short life, Akutagawa took hundreds of photographs of the rabbit balancing a wide variety of small, light objects on its head. Oolong passed on January 7th, 2003.</p> <h2>Common Appearance and Usage</h2> <p>The Pancake Bunny typically sighted with the text &#8220;I have no idea what you&#8217;re talking about&#8230; so here&#8217;s a bunny with a pancake on its head.&#8221; This is a dismissive respons similar to &#8220;My hair is a bird. Your argument is invalid&#8221; or the simpler &#8220;tl;dr.&#8221;</p> <p>Due to the moderately impressive feat being performed by a cute animal, and the dismissive tone of the caption, the image macro was a hit. Variations feature the bunny photoshopped to appear to be balancing other objects on his head, or other animals with pancakes on their heads.</p> 2009-09-04T16:12:07Z 593 6 http://knowyourmeme.com/system/icons/593/original/pancake-bunny.jpg?1249339043
