May banner theme - Me, me

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Wanted to get a jump start on the May banner theme so people can get some ideas. The theme is to recreate an internet meme. You know them well. Many of them are posted. For this one you need to have a picture of the meme you are doing a picture of to qualify.

I love this idea!...though it may be difficult due to our wide banner and most memes are narrow...

Oh interesting.

You can add to the sides as long as you capture the main part of the image.

Should submitters post the meme image when they post their entry? Like within the same post?

That is a meme pretty much. When a picture has had something put over it in words to make it sound funny.

LMAO :trollface: this is exactly what I thought. Now I know and knowing is half the battle.

Those letters are going to be a bitch to sculpt in 1:18 scale, lol...

And Rick, just so you know, it's pronounced MEAM(said MEEM)...

I think the text can be added on later? Or should there be text? MB?? I think it'd look cool with the text.. but could work without not sure how it'd look with the logo etc.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

We can add text if it will fit.

 

[Joerhyno]

I say leave the text off, I was just joking in my comment. I think most memes would still make a cool banner image if done right to still tell a story enough without words added.

what the fuck is a meme?

Technically: meme (/ˈmiË￾m/ meem)[1] is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."[2] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.[3]

It's another concept that got hijacked in the internet age to mean something that it wasn't originally meant to mean.

It kinda still makes sense.

 

[fogger1138]

Kind of, but the original intent has been somewhat lost, so that now it's essentially slang for "funny pictures with text!"

If you don't think that our entire culture is about funny jokes and cat pictures, I don't even know if I can talk to you anymore.

So our cultures basicly a joke. Nice.
