I think I just stumbled across TV's greatest hidden meme. Check this article out. Is your mind blown yet? Al Bundy has been reading it for 13 years. (Check the Married w/ Children and Modern Family post.) This is almost as great as the hidden R2D2s in movies.

I've seen it before. A popular prop company made it. Still pretty cool.

Not a meme though because it was made off the internet.

*not an internet meme…yet. Milhouse wasn't made on the internet. Milhouse never asked for this.

The difference being that Millhouse is not a Meme is the meme. That was made on the 4chan due to incessant forcing. Yeah, Science Bitch is a saying from a TV show that was not internet-based, but evolved into memetic qualities online. The newspaper is more of an easter egg used by TV and movie directors, a hidden secret that was created by them. I'd be hesitant to call it a meme, let alone an internet meme. There's an inherent difference between the three.

Didn't think about it just being an easter egg. That would make more sense I guess. I get meme thrown in my face so much that I immediately jump to meme when I see a joke that's spread this much.
