Pet Holdings Inc., spreader of such popular memes as LOLcats, is expanding its empire with its latest destination — Autocomplete Me, which makes fun of those sometimes off-color search suggestions from Google when you type in part of a query.

From Autocomplete Me’s description:

“Remember that time you were innocently searching for “how to avoid swine flu” but Google assumed you were searching for “how to avenge your brother’s death”? Yeah, that totally wasn’t what you were searching for, but it ended up being super helpful after your best friend “accidentally” stabbed Michael.”

It’s another small step for the profitable content startup, which attracts about 200 million pageviews a month for goofy cat photos and graphs. Cheezburger Network also publishes FAIL Blog and I Has a Hotdog (a dog version of I Can Has Cheezburger). That content costs them close to nothing, as users contribute about 10,000 videos and photos a day. Pet Holdings Inc. started after chief executive Ben Huh acquired the fledgling I Can Haz Cheezburger back in 2007 for an undisclosed amount.
