  <title>The Gendo Pose</title>
  <content>&lt;h2&gt;About&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gendo Ikari is a character from the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. The meme revolves around an image of Ikari in a steepling(hands clasped, fingers crossed) pose. Such a pose is not uncommon for an anatagonist such as himself, and is sometimes known as &lt;a href=http://wiki.evageeks.org/Gendo_Pose&gt;The Abassador Pose.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main hallmark of Gendo&amp;#8217;s steepling is his &lt;a href=&quot;http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScaryShinyGlasses&quot;&gt;scary shiny glasses&lt;/a&gt; which make it extra great.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although the pose appears in many other series, Photoshops of the Gendo Pose in which Gendo&amp;#8217;s hands and glasses have been pasted onto a picture of a person or thing appear on many image-sharing anime forums.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Examples&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No matter what the original photo may be, The Gendo Pose makes it mind-bogglingly sweet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;See? Works every time! The possibilities are endless! This is a meme most versatile. Try it yourself, here are the parts for the job.&lt;br /&gt;
