TIME'S UP

Your Meme Is Tiresome

IT WAS THE JUXAPOSITION OF A RANTING HILTER SEETHING OVER Michael Jackson's death or the 4G iPad leak or a foregone Burning Man festival that was supposed to be funny. Emphasis on the supposed.

Now, after more than 140 parodies of the movie Downfall have been mashed and fed to the masses, the studio responsible for the German film is claiming copyright infringement and forcing the removal from YouTube the videos that collectively make up the "Hitler finds out" meme. Thank God.

If you're in mourning over the passing of Hitler and all his incarnations, take solace in what Encyclopedia Dramatica says about them:

"In short, memes are just inside jokes for people who have no friends with whom to have real inside jokes."

And that includes dancing diapered babies, LOLcats, dancing hamsters and Rickrolling.

(Excepted: Keyboard cat and Charlie The Unicorn. Because there are alway exceptions to the rules.)
