i think this has memetic potential
could someone correct me on this if im wrong
is it not more of a current event that has inspired meme derivitives (eg. advice dog spinoffs failblog etc ) or could this be labelled a "memeplex"
again im not offering to make an entry im just throwing out there

I've seen quite a few Photoshops depicting the effects of the oil spill on various fictional characters that live underwater. Perhaps that could be considered a meme.

Is it possible to have a both IRL meme, and internet meme?

Sure why the hell not.

It's more like a social commentary through humor using the internet as one of a few mediums, if I think about it in fancy speak. Memes are all more like pointless ideas.

Memes are not all pointless, take pools closed, it was to stop racism.
