Bumping for the bumping

The festivals now days away, Rebecca Black has taken down here video of Friday because people didn't like it. (Why else would it have got to 130 million+ views), Muslamic Ray Guns are still terrifying those backwards enough to be in the EDL. My avata has been pointed out.

So any more guesses as what it's going to be or more plugs of one you think could be?

I never knew how "Dan" Mutated to "Alan" (apart from the fact its Alan Partridge) as a campsite shout (or meh, mem, meme or whatever you call it now) - Perhaps all this is poor translation due to Brothers cider consumption

- I'm a traditionalist always insist on the original though, always the best.. enjoy

"Meme" was coined by Richard Dawkins, in The Selfish Gene, I think. It's there to help you understand what genes are and how they prosper or die out. A meme is like a gene, except that where a gene is a chunk of DNA, a meme is an idea- be it a joke, a tune, a picture, a way of cooking eggs, a catchphrase or whatever.

Genes prosper by getting copied into an offspring which goes on to survive and breed. Memes prosper by getting copied into another person's brain through communication, and that person thinking it's a good enough idea that they want to communicate it to someone else.

Weak memes (e.g. a joke so bad you forget it immediately) disappear. Strong memes spread to lots of people.

So this year's meme will probably be the meme of standing in front of a stage being entertained. Again.

I love cats. I love every kind of cat. Sorry. I just. I really love cats and I just wanna hug all of them but I can’t cause it’s crazy. I can’t hug every cat. But I just want to. I want to. I want to. Umm. I’m sorry. I just I get. Anytime I hear cat, I jus- I love cats. Ah, whooo!
