  <title>Weezer Raditude Dog </title>
  <content>Weezer&amp;#8217;s new album, Raditude, scheduled to release November 11 2009, features an image depicting a dog seemingly hovering in the air on the cover. The image was found by Weezer&amp;#8217;s front man Rivers Coumo in a National Geographic magizine when the photo was chosen as one of the months &amp;#8220;Your Shots&amp;#8221;. Rivers contacted both National Geographic and the Owner of the image, Jason Neely, to get permission to feature the image in the album artwork. Neely considered it an honor to have his dog, Sidney, on the cover of the new album.
The album cover:
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://cdn.stereogum.com/img/weezer-raditude-aa.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
The image as a Meme:
The Photoshopped images started appearing around the net after &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spinner.com&quot;&gt;spinner.com&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;p&gt;proposed a challenge to its readers to make an alternate cover for the album by photoshpping the dog into a zany situation and adding the Weezer Raditude logo somewhere in the image. Many also make fun of old weezer albums or other famous albums by other bands by adding the dog and logo over the original artwork.&lt;/p&gt;
A typical Image consists of something like this:
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.blogcdn.com/www.spinner.com/media/2009/09/weezer-lionking2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
