9. Meme Write-up

The task: “But as you might remember you are creating an internet meme....or an series of images that use three different elements. Two types of images and some text.”

Now I looked up what an Internet meme actually was for this task, Wikipedia says “The term Internet meme is used to describe a concept that spreads swiftly via the Internet.” In which case it’s a bit hard to create one, as it’s not actually a meme unless it spreads fast, but I gathered the task was more of a create a potential meme by having a picturething with three elements. So I did that.

However, I thought I’d put a bit more layering into it, and instead of just combining three things, I did so and made a whole cool puzzle thing out of the images. Which I think is rather fetch....

Which means that my meme isn’t meant to be funny, but more of a puzzle that get’s one thinking. I realised that some people really hate not being able to solve puzzles, and the idea was that they would try and solve it by getting other people ‘in on it’. There were cues on the page in hopes it would prompt it. That was the general idea of how this could become a proper meme. Either way it’s a rather complex puzzle, and spending time and getting multiple people to try and solve it is the best way to solve it. So it was somewhat of a ploy. But a cool one at that. :)

Now I don’t really understand some memes. I think that the selleckwaterfallsandwich thing is ..... So if that’s a good meme, than mine must be brilliant. Either way I think there most of them are silly, and the ones that are actually good, people ‘beat a dead horse’ with them. And then they become annoying and tedious. Well I think so at least.

Which is why I decided to create a limited meme, because I don’t like animal cruelty; and in all fairness, ‘beating a dead horse’ is one of the biggest problems about ‘internet humour’. I mean would it have been funny if when you clicked the link to get to my write up, I instead rickrolled you? No. Overdone. Lame. Deadhorse beating, and it’s not like all of your bases would have belong to me had I done it......

My point exactly. Some obviously disagree, hence why they continue to beat the horse. Either way I don’t like most of this sort of ‘art’.

So try and solve the puzzle. There is a plethora of information on the page to solve it. You just have to use your brain. :) Enjoy!
