TPF Photo Challenge -July '13 - "Meme"

[molested_cow]

Uhmm..... you know this needs to have its own monthly contest, like "meme of the month" contest, every month!

OK, so having had no answer to my question, I googled Steve the scumbag; still not sure what a meme is, though. Can someone give an example?

 

[unpopular]

Uhm - yeah. he's that kid who think's he's a hotshot tough guy, acts all ghetto, always asking to borrow 20 bucks, never pays you back, drinks too much cheap beer, talks about getting some 'bitches'.

Goes to Fenway, Steals a Frank ... But it's all for show.

You know... this kid:

The point is that the real Steve isn't a scumbag (well, maybe. that's debatable), the point is that his image represents some idea that we recognize.

Another example is "overly attached girlfriend"

In this case, the character was created in a youtube video as part of a spoof entry in a Justin Beiber fan video contest



But again, we can immediately recognize what Overly Attached Girlfriend represents, even though in reality she's just a normal nineteen year old girl (well... again maybe that's debatable)

Go to Tickld.com. Everything there is a meme.

OK, thanks Unpopular - I have a better idea of things now.

Tiller, I had wondered about the bacon in-joke between American and Canadian members

There are already some good TPF eagle ones floating around. I couldn't find them to link examples, but this is one I made a few weeks ago for Pixel Rabbit's tilty finch (http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/nature-wildlife/330903-oh-there-you.html).
