Crying While Eating <div align="center"> <p><img src="http://knowyourmeme.com/i/17781/original/cryingwhileeating.jpg" alt="" /></p> </div> <h2>About</h2> <p>Crying While Eating is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contagious_media">contagious media</a> website project featuring voluntarily submitted videos of people crying while they eat something. Originally put together in 2005 as a contest submission for Contagious Media Showdown, Crying While Eating was quickly picked up by online media outlets like BoingBoing and MetaFilter within the first 48 hours of its launch. Examples and iterations of <span class="caps">CWE</span> videos can be found on its official concept blog <a href="http://www.cryingwhileeating.com">CryingWhileEating.com</a> as well as on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%22crying++while+eating%22&search_type=&aq=f">YouTube.</a></p> <h2>Contagious Media Showdown & Bored-at-work Network</h2> <p>Contagious Media Showdown was a viral media contest held in May 2005 and organized by Jonah Peretti, the co-founder of Buzzfeed and Huffington Post. Originally conceived by Peretti as an experimental project to study the dynamics of what he referred to as “bored at work network”, the competition paved the way for several viral startup projects including <a href="http://www.cryingwhileeating.com">Crying While Eating</a>, <a href="http://www.forgetmenotpanties.com/">Forget me Not Panties</a>, <a href="http://blogebrity.com/">Blogebrity</a>, and <a href="http://ringtonedancer.contagiousmedia.org/">Ringtone Dancer.</a></p> <h2>How to Create Your Own Crying-While-Eating Video</h2> <p>1.
