    I’ve already said this elsewhere but memes are not associated with the person, they are associated with the moment, concept, idea.

    Fuck George Bush — he’s a fucking mass murderer.

      Please present evidence that memes are not associated with the person. This sounds like something you just made up.

            Evidence:

            The vast majority of memes are related to niche personalities or even non-famous people or animals…

            And even those that are related to someone recognizable… it’s never someone learning about the deaths of 3000 people …

              So there are no memes that are about the people shown in the meme? That’s what you contend?

              And here you go defending George W. Bush again…

                your move here should have been:

                This is just the Murderer Bush learning that the second plane struck. There was no body count at this point.

                And that’s true.

                Look. Bush is a murder, psychopath and incompetent.

                This whole conversation has simply been about the tastelessness that someone who uses this moment as a format takes.

                It’s as tasteless as using an image of a raping a woman and having the text be: Me winning the lottery.

                  You didn’t answer my question.

                  Telling me what my “move” should have been did not answer my question.

                  I think the reason you didn’t answer the question is that you can’t support your claim, and thus can’t support the reason you’ve been so indignant and rude to everyone.

                    There are a million memes. I can’t know about all of them.

                    As regards to my reply — I was more concerned that you somehow think I’m defending Bush. It’s super weird. Are you okay?
