Murderer Uses 'Confession Bear' Meme To Admit Crime

DateApril 9, 2013 at 0:14 by AuthorJason England

A Reddit user uploaded an image on Quickmeme, saying “My sister had an abusive meth addict boyfriend/I killed him with his own drugs while he was unconscious and they ruled it as an overdose."  Of course, as it is the internet (especially Reddit), these things have to be taken with a pinch of salt; but as the story unfolds it would be fair to assume that somebody has committed a murder and confessed to it via a meme.

Diablo III Fallout Should Put A Nail In The Coffin Of Always-On DRM

DateMay 20, 2012 at 21:08 by AuthorJason England

It promised to be one of the biggest videogame launches of all-time. 12 years in waiting, Blizzard’s Diablo III was already the biggest pre-seller ever and as highly anticipated as any game has been in recent gaming history.

Le internet Medley. 40+ memes. 1 music video

DateNovember 10, 2011 at 19:30 by AuthorJason England

The title sums up what it is very nicely.  The song and visual attraction would have to be the fact that this seems to be a music video for the internet troll in us.  The GAG Quartet's most recent song, Le internet Medley, posted on Wednesday, contains over 40 memes, which have already been listed by one guy...but we're not going to link it.  We'd rather you take a shot at identifying them all from 'Forever alone' to the Dramatic Chipmunk.  Meme's have been somewhat a favourable past-time for us here, so please enjoy.  Y U NO WATCHING THIS ALREADY.
