My head asplode: Tay Zonday is a household name
He was no one. Then, hackers on steroids saw the lulz (a corruption of lol). It was a torrent of chocolate rain... but I cannot even come up with words to describe this.
I don't know if I want to stab myself or go on an /i/nvasion. The VH1 Summer Break thing was weird enough; Carson Daly's Rickrolling was weird enough. This is... troubling.
Hackers on steroids are not the Web's coolseekers. They are quite the opposite. Lest it be forgotten, kingmakers can also be revolutionaries, and I weep for the future of the Internet if this is how things are going.
If none of this made any sense to you, I apologize. I'm just in shock, and it's been 12 hours now.

Wow! holy flippin' cow. /i/nvasion ? Are you in to oekaki and 4chan? I doubt they'll save you... although they have done great collabs with ytmnd...
I think you should still do the stab yourself thing, but then grab the audio and dub it over the audio for when the mayor of New Orleans was calling his city "Chocolate City" and then you might have to put in a few random graphics of hurricanes and thunderstorms... then maybe someone would start a fad and counter the whole thing. In fact, I'm sure most 13 year olds would barely get it, which is the requirement for a fad on ytmnd or 4chan. Right? (shoop da woop!)
Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you... yea... I'm a student from your class at USF... mwhahahaha!
I won't tell anyone... if only because I'll wait until after you've graded my paper :3 (totally deserves the kitty smiley, there)... which I'm supposed to be typing up now. Darnit... back to work.
