What If Internet Memes Had Advertising?

Atom.com proposed what it might look like "If Internet Memes Had Big Budget Marketing Campaigns."

I wish!  Every day I have to scour the Internet trying to figure out what has captured the public's attention for this brief moment in time.  It's surprisingly painstaking work.

But for other media, it's the complete opposite.  I haven't seen a movie since Hot Rod!  But I still know that Shutter Island is popular right now because I can't avoid the damn advertising campaign.

The only TV show I watch besides Tosh.0 is any Simpsons rerun from between seasons two and nine.  That doesn't mean I don't realize that middle America can't get enough of The Big Bang Theory.  The adverts are all over the place!

You see, most forms of entertainment play by our rules.  But memes think they are special.  They think going "viral" is the way to make a name for yourself.

F' that!

Let's start a congressional committee to start pumping some money into doing government-mandated marketing for the most recent memes!  That'll keep me from having to check The Daily What ten times a day!

[p.s.  I still love you Daily What!]
