"Once merely obscure inside jokes on the image board 4chan, the "rage face" comics that now appear widely on the Internet have have been toughened by natural selection as they involved into a dominant species of Internet meme. The amateur cartoons, made using a recurring set of expressive characters, are used by a growing international community. Far from being insignificant doodles, the faces are now an accepted and standardized form of online communication used to tell stories that can be quick and funny or serious and deeply personal."

Good for a laugh.

These faces are a kind of hieroglyphs - one symbol = a paragraph-wide meaning. Handy.

Herp Derp: A character no one in the Rage Kingdom enjoys, Herp Derp can sometimes be simply obtuse and dumb, but more commonly he's self-centered, uninformed, and completely sure of himself.

It seems almost tailor made for mp.net

Basically, most internet memes can all be summarized as started on 4chan, got hijacked out into increasingly the regular world, until us nerds are chastised for using something as cool as rageface. I'm nerver surprised by how many people don't know how to do a rageface comic, and take lulz, and make it unfunny, or even worse, anti-lulz

Have you guys even been to the birth of what would become an Internet meme? That ****s whack.

Well "bdp" is local meme, so some of the guys actually seen the birth of a meme Of course it's way more entertaining to see new meme's coming to life in 4chan or 9gag, but nowadays those are being forced as popularity increases

[Giant Robot]

An updated version should have 9gag somewhere behind reddit perhaps
