The Birth of a Meme

It all started with a comment to a Gizmodo post about Angry Birds on a BlackBerry.

what’s the deal with angry birds anyway? i played it once. then i analyzed the game mechanics, deduced that the rest of the game would be throwing birds at things to knock them over and sat my phone down. i hear there is something to do with egg bombs in later levels? sounds hilarious and repetitive. i guess i just don’t understand being addicted to a non-sandbox game.

And now it’s a crazy, epic thread of responses in the same vein. Funny stuff!

OMG Double Rainbow!

If you haven’t caught on to the double rainbow craze, you’d probably best start with HuffPo’s original story. Once you’ve checked that out, you’re ready to appreciate the masterfully catchy Auto-Tune masterpiece of song that follows.

The internet’s have been quick to respond with a myriad of spoofs, parodies and odes to the mighty double rainbow guy, but this song is far away still my favorite.
