It’s a real test of an actor’s skill if they can successfully imitate internet memes.
Forget treading the boards or playing the Dane, it’s all about Strutting Leo, You Don’t Say?, Trollface, and Grumpy Cat.
You might not know this because it’s a closely guarded secret, but the internet loves cats. Yep, weird, huh?
In this upcoming doc, Lil Bub & Friendz, the life and times of Bub are explored and the whole internet cat phenomenon examined.
We all know what viral videos are, those epic lulz that get sent around the internet everyday and stop us all from doing any work.
In this vid PBS look at this cultural phenomenon and find out what it takes to be successful and why these videos become so popular.
Who’s tracking you online is one of the issues of the day, as we go about our daily browsing all manner of trackers are watching our every move.
Who are they and what the hell they’re doing is a mystery, until now! Collusion for Chrome lets you find out what the hell’s going on and where your info’s going. Get it!
Internet troll Nimrod Severn spends his time popping up on RIP tribute sites and leaves offensive messages full of racist bile. What a lovely chap he is. So the BBC tracks him down and confronts him in the street Roger Cook-style.
Safe to say he’s a bit of an arrogant twat, but the best line comes at the end from the reporter. “So there you go, an internet troll–that’s what they look like”. Indeed.
This may come as a surprise to some people, but on the internet folks like to argue. Yep, it’s true. I know, shocking isn’t it, it’s hard to believe that anyone can disagree. But they can.
And so icons of Star Trek and Star Wars recently took to the internet arguing that their franchise reigned supreme. When things got personal, George Takei–the only actor who has worked in both–stepped in to broker the peace by identifying a mutual threat.
Cats, they’re pretty stupid, right? And the internet, there’s no questioning that is full of dumb, teeming with the stuff. Just fit to burst out of your computer screen and cover you in dumb, a sea of stupid is pressurising up to come cascading from your monitor and wash you away in a river of idiocy.
This much, we know. So this guy’s put two-and-two together and he’s come up with this stupid video of his idiotic cat. It has over 4 millions views.
It can be confusing to describe a balloon race across the internet. And that’s not because it’s a confusing game, it’s just because it’s a balloon race. Across the internet.
The race course that all the balloons fly through is made up of loads and loads of websites. Each website has the race course floating over the top of it. It’s very easy to play, so we recommend you get stuck in and enjoy!
The internet is a scary place, for many reasons, it’s a playground where you decide what happens, who you play with, and who you want to play with you. The possibilities are seemingly endless and that’s where the nightmare of realization rears it’s ugly head – What the HELL would you do if it wasn’t there?
It doesn’t bear thinking about, it’s always gonna be there, right? Getting bigger, better and faster every day, with more wonders to behold….. But what, yes, WHAT the hell would you do if you didn’t have the chance to log-in and tune out?
I spend a lot of time smurfing the net, sometimes too much time and in the past it has become a bit of a problem, not just for me, but for those close enough to call me ‘friend’.
I’ve been around the block enough times to recognise that at times i am surfing just a little bit too close to what some psychotherapists might term ‘addiction’, and if i wanted to choose to believe them, then i would probably think they were right?
The interwebs, it’s here to say and it’s not something that once you find it can ever leave alone again.
It’s something we all casually use trawling for pr0n, poking our friends or looking for lolz. But just how many people use the web? How many emails were sent? How many of those were spam?
Gimme some stats godammit! I want stats!
