Memes are some of the best parts of the Internet. Memes are
the diamonds in a vast ocean of disappointing Facebook posts that makes having
a social network worth all the while. Memes can be used to make a simple joke
or make a political or social statement. This article talks about memes being
used during the 2012 presidential campaign, and I couldn’t think of a better
time to read this article because of the presidential campaign that’s coming up
in 2016. I notice sometimes people will put the picture of a really smart
person and meme it with some super right-wing conservative view point that you
know that person would never say in real life. A lot of people really believe
that. Its an affective way to get a point across for sure. This article does go
into the fact that memes are made for just the present then they disappear. It
kind of reminds me of the saying “here today, gone later today” I think that
applies to memes for sure.
