A study on the speed meme-ing: In under 24 hours, Angelina Jolie's dramatic right leg has taken over the internet. As we speak, America's most powerful meme factories are pumping their pistons as fast as they can:What if Angelina's leg had a Twitter feed? What if it got peppersprayed? What if she showed both her legs? What if Al Roker did this pose? What should we call it? Jolie-ing? Angelegging?
What if Angelina's leg wore bread on its knee? What if it knelt and prayed after touchdowns? What if we put a funny captions on top of it? What if it made friends with a cat? What a comedian threw Kim Jong-Il's ashes on it? What if it went to the moon? What if it had sex withJ.Lo's left nipple, and gave birth to a horrible nipple-kneed monster, which then drunk textedParis Hilton?
In the future, memes won't even need predicating events. One human will do one thing in front of a camera, once per year, and the memes will snowball onwards, forever. All creative conceits will be the products of repetition with variation, as in a Bach fugue.
