Kind of what I was figuring. There have been plenty of mentions of
other memes in the traditional media, yet none on Peppers. Seems odd.
How are we expexted to write an article on a subject that doesn't
have corroboration in something other than internet sources? I mean,
I know the name Gary Brolsma from offline sources. I know I have seen
stuff on the Star Wars Kid and that German yelling kid offline as
well. It's hard to believe something "this famous" would have no
mention in newspapers, etc. I don't know. The WP:WEB guideline and
WP:MEME (proposed) don't really give much help either. --LV
