Computers Are So Internet

So what happens when a research team creates a supercomputer network that will act as a brain and decide to have it search the internet? Well, let's ask Google, since they did just that:

"Presented with 10 million digital images found in YouTube videos, what did Google’s brain do? What millions of humans do with YouTube: looked for cats."


Holy fuck. It's just like us! Retarded!

This meme is so meta!

The evolution of a meme...




/rolls eyes

This isn't even creative!!!  Goddammit everyone is just taking pictures and declaring them memes.  You just took a new picture of a girl with fantastic bosoms and made the same joke that everyone has already made!  In fact if I google Eye Contact meme, I bet this exact joke was already done.


See.

 Surprise surprise.  God this stupid thing better not become a meme.




GODDAMMIT!  IT IS THE SAME JOKE!  YOU DIDN'T EVEN VARY IT!  



 Yes, we fucking get it!  It's hard to make eye contact because her breasts are hanging out.  Jesus H. Christ, I am so sick of these lazy memes.  That is the problem with these boilerplate image macro memes.  "Hey, I can take the Scumbag Steve picture and add an old joke to it that stopped being funny twenty years ago but it's funny now because it's a meme."





Nope, still not funny.  




 


 Nope.



Please stop.


 

OK, that is kind of funny and I assumed this line was already used in a meme or a joke but I googled it and apparently not.  This one gets a point.




Meh.  The one above was better.
 

 

 DAT'S SEXUST!!!  OK, this thing is still a terrible meme but I guess people are doing the best they can with it.


 Lulz.  OK, this is pretty meta.  Reddit, those guys love boobs and memes! (also cats)



 Wait, is this thing going meta?  Maybe I spoke too soon about hating this meme...




 

 OK, so the original meme terrible but the backlash is at least funny.  Even shitty memes become funny when people start making fun of the memes, with the meme.  Anything that is meta is funny!


Now we are getting meta!  They took a joke from another meme and then misused it in this meme.  BUT THEY DIDN'T BECAUSE YOU CANT!  BECAUSE BOOBIES!


 Yeah, now people are getting it!



 Whoa, this just went multiple levels of meta...






Man this is a great meme!


 


 He is right!  I do read that line first!  What a clever meme!  And so meta!

 

 Oh man, now we are at the highest level of meta.  A lot of memes don't even get this far on the meta scale and this meme has only been around for a couple days...


 

 


 Best. meme. ever!

Better Know a Meme: Kony 2012, Part 1

A few days ago, a group posted a video on YouTube highlighting the crimes of Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, seeking to start a campaign aimed at having him arrested by the end of 2012. Joseph Kony is most infamous for his use of child soldiers and child sex slaves, making him pretty much a huge dick. The video, called Kony 2012, went viral almost immediately, getting 2 million hits in 24 hours, as all the hipsters on Reddit and pretend social activists on Facebook starting posting the video. The video represents all that is wrong with these online social activists: none of these idiots knew who Joseph Kony was a day before, they still can't find Uganda on a map, and they actually think they can have an impact on world affairs because they post a video on their Facebook wall. Hey morons, if it were this easy to topple a warlord, someone would have done it by now. Moreover, you are the same people condemning the US's military intervention to topple the criminal regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. How else do you think Kony is going to be brought to justice? You think Kony is going to watch the video and turn himself in? Oh I know, start an Occupy Kampala campaign . Maybe there is some park you can camp out in, I mean that was so effective here in the United States.


Well, fortunately this movement became so over the top ridiculous that there is a backlash now on Imgur (and probably 4chan too but every time I go there I end up getting distracted by porn), and Kony 2012 has now been turned into a meme. This posts highlights that backlash, and Part 2 will highlight the even better iteration of this meme, as the trolls have also flocked to join in on the fray.
