Laptop Steering Wheel Desk (Amazon Reviews) mobile laptop table Origin: The product itself is offered through two companies listed on amazon.com: goofficesolutions.com and comfortchannel.com. In the similar light as the three wolves howling at the moon meme where amazon users poke fun of the potential horrors of using the product known as “mobile laptop desk”. Includes images of horrific accidents implying using the product would or has lead to said wreck. Here are some entries: <ul> <li>"The greatest thing ever invented!, October 26, 2009 By T. Meadows “TM” Wow is this thing great! I use it as a “mini-bar” when the friends and I go out to the bars. I can quickly fix multiple shots of tequila for myself and the friends as we drive from one bar to the next. We also discovered that if you place a pillow on top of it and turn on the cruise control you can catch quick naps on the interstate. If you swerve to the left or right the rumble strips on the road wake you up in plenty of time before you get into trouble. I can now take longer trips without being tired! Also, i am now dating a midget and she fits nicely on the steering wheel desk which allows us to experiment sexually while driving. This thing is like WD-40 or duct tape, it is a million and one uses!" <li>“Amazing! Holds my sheet music perfectly while driving., May 7, 2009 By Brent A. Nelson (San Antonio, TX) This has been a total lifesaver. It allows me to prop my sheet music against the wheel, allowing me to play the guitar with both hands while driving." <li>"I loved this so much I got one for my 90yr old mother, October 29, 2009 By S. Kelly I loved my Laptop Steering Wheel Desk so much I got one for my 90yr old mother. She is an avid crossword puzzle fan and now she can work on them while she is driving back and forth from bingo at the senior center. One cautionary note be careful of those jerks that stop at yellow lights, my poor mother rear ended one and the airbag drove the desk back into her stomach which ruptured her spleen, well after a short down time I’m glad to say she is back on the road and cranking out those NY Times crosswords once again. Thanks Laptop Steering Wheel Desk you have made my mothers life more complete."

Foul Bachelor Frog Advice Dog, image macro, exploitable <h2>About</h2> Foul Bachelor Frog is a variant of Advice Dog that first appeared in late June 2009. Foul Bachelor Frog soon began to gain popularity, and eventually became the second most reproduced image on memegenerator.net, behind only Socially Awkward Penguin. As of November 2009, it is one of the few Advice Dog variants that is still prominent on 4chan. Foul Bachelor Frog was designed to be a hopeless, disgusting, and self-deprecating representation of the singles pool. His main themes include fapping and wallowing in filth. Foul Bachelor Frog has at least two of his own spin-offs: Bachelorette Frog and Bachelors in Love(which is the combination of Bachelorette Frog and Foul Bachelor Frog).

But, there was, in the beginning, no real “rivalry” for Microsoft was more focused on Office computers whereas Mac was more suitable concerning graphic rendition and playful use. For a very long time, these stereotypes have been part of our culture. Anyway, for users of each side, as far as computer technology developed itself and began a race to the newest update, arguments pointing at each other shortcoming were unavoidable, as this <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware/browse_thread/thread/c776269d11be30bc/b033fd84830fe413?lnk=st&q=mac+vs+pc&rnum=994">archive from 1992</a> shows. <h2>The “Get a Mac” ads</h2> Apple, in 2002, already took the cunning initiative to play on that “rivalry” between the two companies, in a subtle way, with their <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/apple-mac-switch-spoofs">Apple Switch ad campaign</a>. Those ads faded out quickly in the maintream media and became the target of a memetic spread concerning parodies and <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ellen-feiss">Ellen Feiss</a>, without really focusing on some kind of “war” between the two blocks. 4 years later, Apple struke back with their “Get a Mac” ads campaign, being more straightforward this time: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KNnX6XRQBec&hl=fr&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KNnX6XRQBec&hl=fr&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> As one can see, this is a presumptuous and arrogant, yet funny, way to express that Macs are better than PCs. The stereotypes used (PC seen as a classy businessman while Mac seen as a cool young man), along with the simple way of making the ad reused (a white background) caught on immediately. <h2>On Youtube</h2> Youtubes parodies started appearing the same year the ads did. In most of the cases, it became “Mac vs PC” videos reinforcing this “war” idea. It was a way to make fun of each side, being PC, Mac or even Linux: <center>Half Life version</center> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/G-JdC04vBik&hl=fr&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/G-JdC04vBik&hl=fr&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <center>South park version</center> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Id_kGL3M5Cg&hl=fr&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Id_kGL3M5Cg&hl=fr&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <center>GreenPeace version</center> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CtxJor2NV-8&hl=fr&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CtxJor2NV-8&hl=fr&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <center>Touhou version</center> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KLiyglcRcCA&hl=fr&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KLiyglcRcCA&hl=fr&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <center>Marvel vs DC</center> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1n3VSw1XBOo&hl=fr&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1n3VSw1XBOo&hl=fr&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <center>Mac vs PC rap</center> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jkrn6ecxthM&hl=fr&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jkrn6ecxthM&hl=fr&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <center>Christian version</center> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8RtfNdg1fQk&hl=fr&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8RtfNdg1fQk&hl=fr&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <center>Democrat vs Republican</center> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W6Y3nUH_0-8&hl=fr&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W6Y3nUH_0-8&hl=fr&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <center>Wii vs PS3</center> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/x7PhJp3ciRQ&hl=fr&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/x7PhJp3ciRQ&hl=fr&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> You can find many many more videos <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mac+vs+pc+parodies&search_type=&aq=f">there</a> You can also find more spoofs and parodies at <a href="http://www.macspoofs.com/">MacSpoofs.com</a>.

It featured what the company referred to as “real people” who had “switched” from the Microsoft Windows platform to the Mac. An international television and print ad campaign directed users to a website where various myths about the Mac platform were dispelled. (Source, wikipedia, see link) <h2>Internet phenomenon</h2> One of the ads’ goal was to point at Microsoft’s computers shortcomings. While the effectiveness of that campaign didn’t get very far, the simplicity in the making (an actor and a white background) led to image and video parodies the same year: <img src="http://old.macedition.com/partingshot/partingshot_20020705.jpg" alt="" /> (The embedding link seeming to have some problems, here is the URL for the video:<a href="http://www.spike.com/video/mac-switch-parody/2463684">http://www.spike.com/video/mac-switch-parody/2463684</a>) Most of the parodies lamented features they had lost due to the switch, such as the ability to play popular games and use of the right mouse button. You can find <a href="http://www.uofr.net/~sam/switch/">here</a> some more of it.

I Did It for the Lulz I did it for the Lulz, For the Lulz, or IDIFTL is often used after posting offensive or disgusting material as a way to express remorse or explain motivation for said post. However, the phrase can also accompany Lulzy material, or ironically accompany anti-lulzy material. The goal of the phrase is normally to create a humorous juxtaposition. The more grave the previous post, the greater the irony of “doing it for the lulz” and ultimately, the greater the Lulz. As such, the image macro frequently features references to the holocaust, suicide, murder, or rape. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fig%2Fmodules%2Fgoogle_insightsforsearch_interestovertime_searchterms.xml&up__property=empty&up__search_terms=I+did+it+for+the+lulz%7Cfor+the+lulz&up__location=empty&up__category=0&up__time_range=empty&up__compare_to_category=false&synd=ig&w=320&h=350&lang=en-US&title=Google+Insights+for+Search&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>

Lightning Bolt ! - Ogre battle LARP Lightning Bolt, LARP, ytmnd, video, D&D, role playing, catchphrase <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fig%2Fmodules%2Fgoogle_insightsforsearch_interestovertime_searchterms.xml&up__property=empty&up__search_terms=lightning+bolt+larp&up__location=empty&up__category=0&up__time_range=empty&up__compare_to_category=false&synd=ig&w=320&h=350&lang=en-US&title=Google+Insights+for+Search&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script><h2>About</h2> LARP (Live Action Role Play) is a hobby consisting in reenacting , in real life, great battles or everyday’s life of a given universe, in a play-like fashion. That’s including weapons, clothes, manners, character’s way of speaking depending of the universe that could be futuristic, movie-based, game-based and so forth. To some instance, it is often seen as one of the nerdiest hobby ever. “Lightning bolt !”, sometimes referred to as the “Ogre battle LARP”, is a video fad that ended summing up LARPers’ “weirdness” to the general public. <h2>Origin</h2> In 2003, a video called “Ogre Battle” began circulating within LARP communities. It was about a Dungeons & Dragons like LARP. That video started to get attention from non-LARPers, mainly to be made fun of, because it showed a man dressed in some kind of scottish clothes with a kilt yelling “Lightning Bolt !”, “Sleep !” and “Death !” while throwing what seemed to be pieces of paper to another man disguised as the ogre (even though he looked like a scarecrow to me). <center>Embedding being disabled for the initial video present in the link below, here is a Youtube one from 2006</center> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KZ04mfAY2BU&hl=fr&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KZ04mfAY2BU&hl=fr&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Some people hosted the video directly to their websites, but the links are now dead. One of the first website to host a streaming version of the video was <a href="http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/9271/detail/">MilkAndCookies</a> in September 2003. As one can see in the comment section of that website, the reactions were… negative in majority.

No Girls on the Internet The phrase, itself a shortening of there are no girls on the internet, can be traced to the early days of the internet. It almost exclusively applied to message boards and chat rooms, which were frequently invaded by trolls who claimed to be girls for the lulz. From Encyclopedia Dramatica: It is worth noting that when speaking of “girls on the Internet” one is speaking of actual Internet users actually tickling a keyboard. If you are speaking in terms of jpgs, gifs and videos, then the internet is almost entirely girls with only a few exceptions. The phrase was frequently used in tandem with “tits or GTFO” by skeptics of anyone claiming to be a girl. However, As the user-base of the internet has expanded, the phrase has become less and less true, and thus, less and less common.

Omega Kawaii Cloud Song Japan, Final fantasy 7 This is a meme which had been started by a Deviant Art user by the name of Spookydoom (Nellie Malton) this animation consists a very caricatured version of Cloud from Final Fantasy 7 using very basic Beat boxing beats singing about potions giving him cavities and fighting cactuars. Here are the lyrics: My name is Cloud I have a sword I fight Cactuars Because I’m Bored I like to ride on Chocobos It’s better than Having Afros And when I go Into an Inn Fifteen seconds It’s day again And I will use A phoenix down So when I die I will not Frown Because I am Cloud My Hair defies all gravity And I can’t have too many potions Or I might get cavities If I can’t slice you Then that’s ok I’ll use my magic Anyway And I will defeat That Sephiroth Because he’s not David Lee Roth <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PrZQIayUnbA&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PrZQIayUnbA&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> The song was then uploaded to Youtube getting over 1,000,000 hits today. The reason why the animation has been so successful was because the cuteness of the Cloud (Omega meaning very and Kawaii meaning Cute) There have been very many imitators who change to lyrics to fit in with who there singer is for example there has been a Roxas and Sora song from the Kingdom Hearts series who sing about Key-blades and Xemnas <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/k87nszgRSMQ&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/k87nszgRSMQ&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TPf0OOUx0Ms&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TPf0OOUx0Ms&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> There has even been a Gir version from Invader Zim <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F8zBcxMhjDg&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F8zBcxMhjDg&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

You gonna get raped image macro, SomethingAwful, catchphrase, ytmnd <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fig%2Fmodules%2Fgoogle_insightsforsearch_interestovertime_searchterms.xml&up__property=empty&up__search_terms=yggr%7Cyou+gonna+get+raped&up__location=empty&up__category=0&up__time_range=empty&up__compare_to_category=false&synd=ig&w=620&h=300&lang=en-US&title=Google+Insights+for+Search&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script><h2>About</h2> “You Gonna Get Raped,” sometimes seen as the acronym “YGGR,” is a catchphrase and image macro used to indicate creepiness. It could be a threatening glance or a fierce, direct stare, typically directed either towards someone else in the picture or towards the spectator. Most of the time, this kind of picture leaves an impression of being in front of a rapist or, at the very least, someone who seems up to something in a creepy way. In some instances, the catchphrase’s meaning can be closer to <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/owned-pwned">pwned</a> <h2>Origin</h2> In 1993 a photographer named Matt Kenlon was sent to cover the Mississippi River Flooding. In November 1994 the photographer met a homeless man named William Todd in the town of Biloxi, Mississippi. Kenlon asked Todd if he could take some photos… the results: <img src="http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/picture.php?albumid=110&pictureid=651" alt="" /> The photos were published in a coffee table book produced by McLaren Press in 1996 called “America’s Refuse: Homeless in the Heartland.” In 2001, the Something Awful forums began hosting a scanned version of one of the photos — the one with the fierce, vaguely threatening stare, glowering through that intimidating hood: <img src="http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Everyone%20Else/images-3/you-gonna-get-raped.jpg" alt="" /> The words “You gonna be raped” were written on it. From that point, that hooded man will be known as the “You gonna get raped guy”. <h2>Fallout & Followup</h2> This less-than-classy internet meme did not go over well for William Todd, the subject of the original photograph. According to a morrissey-solo.com forum user named snowfallsoon (excerpted): <blockquote> […] That whole thing started at somethingawful.com…i forget exactly how but there was a thread that turned into something like ‘music to get raped by’- a photoshopped CD cover has Todd’s face on it. Todd was fired from his job and could not find another job for 6 months. He has been clean for 14 years and now works for a contractor rebuilding buildings in Biloxi.</blockquote> You can see the whole comment thread <a href="http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showpost.php?p=1054312&postcount=76">here</a> There isn’t, sadly, any SomethingAwful archive talking about it. You can find a more detailed explanation of William Todd’s life and how the meme was born in <a href="http://stupidis.livejournal.com/121361.html">this LJ article</a> Excerpted from the article: <blockquote> Someone had scanned the picture of Todd from America’s Refuse and placed it online as a sort of punchline. Julius wasn’t the first Biloxi native to notice. The picture was forwarded to inboxes across town. Todd was, by then, a supervisor at the newspaper. At his next employee review, the picture surfaced. He didn’t know what to say. He was let go. William was jobless for six months after that. That picture got featured on Fark.com, then it was all over Internet. While, at first, the meme could be seen as racist, focusing mainly on black people’s pictures, as one goes along, the catchphrase was used in any situation or picture in which someone got the same kind of stare, playing on that joke and altering various pictures. </blockquote> <h2>YTMND</h2> In 2004 YGGR meme reached YTMND — <a href="http://yougonnagetrapedson.ytmnd.com/">http://yougonnagetrapedson.ytmnd.com/</a> by user eggyolk was the first site, created in May 2004. To date it has gathered about 2,400 views. eggyolk’s site led to an impressively prolific <a href="http://ytmnd.com/search?q=you+gonna+get+raped&x=9&y=9">71 variations on the fad</a>, the most popular being <a href="http://rapedzelda.ytmnd.com/">http://rapedzelda.ytmnd.com/</a> (warning: flashy animation) by user j3pro on the 8th of October 2005, gathering more than 29,500 views. <h2>Elsewhere</h2> By 2006, the meme got its own <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=you%20gonna%20get%20raped">Urban Dictionary entry</a>. By 2008, it got its own <a href="http://yougonnagetraped.com/">single-service website</a>.

Boot to the Head parody comedic american Boot to the Head, is a comedy album by the Canadian group, the Frantics. Release in 1987, the group is well known because of it’s skit Boot to the Head. The Frantics reside in Canada, and formed in the late ‘80s, but that’s unimportant. ORIGIN The infamous phrase came from the comedy skit “Ti Kwan Leep” and evolved from there. In the skit, an Eastern martial arts master starts off his class by explaining the basic philosophy of a fictional martial art called “Ti Kwan Leep”. An impatient student in the class named Ed Gruberman interrupts the master, wanting to skip the philosophy and learn how to “beat people up.” After several interruptions the master agrees to show Gruberman some moves, and gives him a “Boot to the Head.” Soon enough all the student are given “boots to the head,” and the skit ends.
