Commented on Impact Font.

Well, here’s my opinion on internet memes:
-It should be a fad (transmitting popular ideas to each other)
-It should be more internetty than IRL (different usage/connotation on the nets or more popular on the nets)

Now, where Impact Font fits into those definitions is very unclear.
-Maybe its a subconscious fad; I might see a funny lolcat image with impact font, and then subconciously choose impact font on my own image.
-Is Impact font more notable or different than the way it is used IRL? Prove it.

TL;DR
A font can be a meme, but I can only support this entry halfway.

^I could say those IRL.
This is uniquely internets.

Still though, you raise a good point.

Commented on El Vuoso Polar.

Interesting. I approve.

However, this article definitely needs cleanup, editing, and much much more examplanation.

Commented on The Internet's Over.

So, out of curiosity, what’s Prince trying to accomplish? If he’s saying both the internet and MTV are dead, how is he trying to promote his new album? Through magazines???

Is he trying to do this for attention or what? (Streisand effect)
Anyway, don’t mind me- I’m just ranting.

@Biotic Zombie
I was criticizing the crappy entry, not the lack of a meme.

Commented on Steve Irwin/Stingrays.

Actually I take that back, I support this as a meme. I was hesitant because of the internet’s tendency to make fun of any celebrity’s death, but I think the circumstances in which Steve Irwin died make this situation a bit different.

Commented on Steve Irwin/Stingrays.

Uhm, wouldn’t this Michael Jackson an internet meme?

It’s true that the Crocodile Hunter produced quite a bit of internet jokes, and it is extremely exploitable…

But for the most part, I second kouyamiaura’s comment.

Commented on Ran Ran Ruu Spinoffs.

Yea, just make sure to search next time (although maybe you missed it because you spelled it “Ruu”).

Nevertheless, it wouldn’t have been a bad entry- could’ve used more info.

Happy internets to you.

Commented on missing missy.

Fascinating entry. I’ve gained so much knowledge in so little text, I can’t believe it.

Now I can die in peace.
