It surely must be a sign of the apocalypse when we start seeing coverage of 4chan memes in mainstream media.
(writer overlooks "FTW" as meme partner...)
Entertaining article on the fail meme. I sometimes wonder how "normal" people perceive this mass of variously geeky people on the net who practically speak a different language by now. I sometimes wonder how my parents would react if I sent them an email declaring that "I pwn3d some n00bs".
Probably the same way that their reacted when they told them that mellowing out was groovy. Or the way _their_ parents reacted when they told them that the hep cats were jumpin'. Or the way _their_ parents reacted when told that some bird was the bee's knees. Shrugging and invisibly rolling one's eyes seems like appropriate.
Noun fail!
That article was over 9000. 4chan slang got 10/15'd.

We will know the tubocalypse has truly arrived when someone suggests that "Congress should work like Digg"; and they get play in the mainstream media.
