meme's

If your anything like me, the internets is your entertainment and comedy. And I spell it internets intentionally.

For by internets I don’t mean the internet: facebook, email, news sites, sports sites.
No I mean the internets: the heart of the beast, the inner dwellings of reddit, digg, fukung, 9gag, and the like. These are the ongoing casual conversations of our entire population, the witty satires and quick jabs, the odd off colour joke, the complete disregard for political correctness.
Go to 9gag.com
View it for 5 minutes, and I guarantee that there is at least one post in there that you will understand, regardless of what language you speak, what culture you come from or what you believe in.
Meme’s are the new universal language of our age.
If your not familiar with the term in the way internet savy users are, a meme is a short crudely drawn comic strip using generic characterisations to describe situations commonly encountered by the author, usually situations that most of us encounter in one form or another.
And that is the beauty of the meme – it makes you realize all those little things that you pick up on, all those tiny experiences that you never bother to mention, or that you think are unique to yourself, you begin to find are commonplace. You are not alone – every dreads that feeling when you touch seaweed underwater, everyone feels awesome when you click your fingers and the traffic light changes colour, everyone’s finished the carton of milk and put it back into the fridge empty.
These memes have connected the human race in a way none of us could have imagined. It made us realize how alike we really are, that all over the world, we share these human experiences, we aren’t alone in our isolation of the world.

Meme’s make me realize I’m not alone in this world, and that if I Lol at these little strange experiences, 7 billion people Lol with me.
