Sarah Palin’s Unknown Quality Sparks Tragic Internet Meme

Friday, August 29th, 2008

John McCain made a vice presidential choice, but no one knows her? Time to establish a complete waste-of-time TWITTER MEME in which one may use other INTERNET MEME JOKES to describe her.

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Finally, people are mocking that “Yes, We Can” internet sensation video, a.k.a. the most compelling reason thus far not to vote for Barack Obama. After the jump, two somewhat funny parodies involving John “WALNUTS!” McCain. See, if they’re parodies, they also support Barack Obama, but in a less grating way than “Yes, We Can” does! This parody concept is brilliant. MORE »
