Forgive me but wasn't the Brian Peppers thing about ridicule and "fair ground show attraction" than it was about him being a meme.
I have no idea, since I still haven't figured out what an internet meme is. Wiktionary says that a meme is "Any unit of cultural information, such as a practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another." So I guess an "internet meme" would be a unit of cultural information that is transmitted via an internet? Eh, I still don't understand the term. I've always thought of memes as being analogous to genes. Is "Star wars kid" an internet meme? Where's the analogy to genes?
