THE OPTIMIST the-opt.com 1 © 2012 Tom Pappalardo HYPERJOKING When a meme strikes, it is swift & merciless. Shelf life is short. One must strike quickly, lest he be eyeroll emoticoned. FIRST: Something funny happens. A video is recorded, a photo is captioned, a catchphrase is born. It is captured and uploaded to the Internet. The meming has begun. 48 HOURS: Your always-online acquaintances shake their heads when you finally post the joke on Facebook, because it's already so stale, there are weak parodies of it on YouTube. But most of your regular friends are uncool losers like you, so they act like You wrote: FTM! IMMEDIATELY: The self-designated funny person" on a thousand different forums & web communities sprain their fingers attempting to cut and paste the URL before anyone else. The link is reposted, upvoted, rehosted, tweeted, disseminated you've discovered the Ark of the Covenant YEAH. FTM 72 HOURS: At least two pornd movies with sex-pun titles go into pre-production. Jaded hipsters, long weary of seeing the sheeple reposting and retweeting, begin to ironically repost the joke like it's a Hang In There!" kitten poster WHATEVE WITHIN 24 HOURS: The capitalist bottomfeeders have taken anything possibly related to the joke, invested the minimum amount of creative effort, and are offering a full merchandise line on Cafepress. Every related word, phrase, and spelling variation has been registered as a domain name. There are at least five Tumblrs dedicated to the joke FTM MUCH, MUCH LATER: Your mom hears a safe-for-TV version of it in a Jay Leno monologue She misquotes it to you. The joke is pronounced dead. Soon it is developed into a sitcom pilot. WHAT WAS IT? "EFF DEE ADD TO CART ENN?"
