Each month or so, the internet spits up some little piece of video that ricochets around everyone’s email boxes. And then people realize that it’s not actually all that clever and feel guilty for forwarding it to everyone in their address books. I’m pretty sure this cycle began with ‘All Your Base Are Belong To Us.’ (Which reminds me– I really need to get that tattoo removed.) Of course, whether or not a piece of content achieves internet ubiquity has been a function of the cumulative tastes and decision processes and procrastinatory habits of the masses, and the masses cannot be trusted.
