The day the site struck back

Ever since I joined the webiste Know Your Meme a year ago, I never knew that I would actually be using it for social reasons. Yet still I found myself as the black sheep of the herd in this place, just like I was in the real world. This is due to the whole surrealness of the other users, while I try to stay myself on the site. But aside from that I was able to get the attention of people and found the site to be amusing.

But then…it happened.

I went onto the site that day just to be normal like I usualy am, but for some reason, everything was different. Somehow, the site that we all love has turned all it's users into Nicolas Cage. Now I know a lot of people respect the awesomeness actor, but this was just beyond surrealness. Every user, from Brand New Member to Internet Scientist has been turned into a copy of Cage, with the name being changed to the name of one of his characters or movie titles. The first one to notice this was Suiseseki, who for some reason was too nervous to say her ususal tourettes-esque catchphrase.

Why did this happen?

My guess was that Know Your Meme has somehow rebeled against us. The reason why it did that is a complete mystery though. Maybe it felt in a low state after being taken over by the Cheezburger Network. Maybe it was because it thought the Rebbeca Black's song was so stupid that it was repulsed to have an entry on something that low. Or maybe because it was fed up with so many newfags that it tried to make them into someone respectable, but then got carried away and did it to everyone. Lots of members have done things like assume several identies at the same time like Smugleaf or _____pwnzer, but that was at free will. None of the staff was present that day, probably they didn't want to see the horror that their creation has done.
