I submit this meme should be reconsidered for re-approval.
Most people that read the title will know exactly what I am talking about.

For those that do not, I recommend reading what wikipedia has to say:

If you want a quick recap, here it is-
September 1st 2009 the threads at fark.com had been overheating with Glenn Beck
comments concerning Beck's ad hominem attacks and straw man arguments.
FARK user @oldweevil posted a reference to a Gilbert Gottfried joke concerning Glenn Beck's alleged rape and murder of a girl in 1990. An event that presumably did not happen, but is seen as being an apt and appropriate commentary on Beck's TV and radio presentation style and well known and prolific distortion of facts.
Fark has had many threads with thousands of comments and
subsequently, tens, maybe hundreds, of millions of comments have been posted to thousands of other sites.

Here are some examples:

Many other sites have explored the concept including, but not limited to:

The United Nations World Intellectual Property Organization weighed in on the matter and declared that this was in fact a valid meme.
These legal documents provide the proof:

The legal documents submitted to the U.N. panel and influencing their decision include mention of 'Mr.Spock ate my balls', Pedobear and 'Everytime you masturbate, God kills a kitten' which make this a meta-meme. :}

Hell, it even made NPR and the Weekly World News:

In closing, I submit that this is not only a meme, as Isaac Eiland-Hall said in his letter to Glenn Beck relinquishing the original domain name,
this is 'a super meme'

A couple of afterthoughts

and Keith Olbermann made this meme his worser person in the world

Duly noted, thanks for the bump. Now that this has become a pretty big lawsuit (and victory for the domain owner, a la Max Goldberg of YTMND + dustindiamond.com) it may very well be worth including. I'll bring this up w/ the team

Yeah, when I saw that Goldberg won, I thought about including this again as well.

lolwut?

why wont glenn beck eat my diarrhea

I heard he did eat your diarrhea.
And he enjoyed it.
He just asked if he could have some more, please.

As further evidence of the meme-worthiness of "Glenn Beck 1990", it has begun showing up in forum signatures, and as a standard response for some people when they see Beck-style rhetorical arguments made.
