What is a meme? Let's consult Richard Dawkins and find out ''his'' definition of the word he, himself, coined:

'''meme (plural: memes)'''

:''(philosophy) Any unit of cultural information, such as a practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another. Examples include thoughts, ideas, theories, practices, habits, songs, dances and moods and terms such as race, culture, and ethnicity.''

So what we can get from this is that it's a piece of information, transmitted visually, digitally, or through word of mouth. Now let's compare it with what ''we'' define as a meme:

'''meme (more than one: memes)'''

:''{{well}}''

So yeah. I GUESS DAWKINS DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING DID HE

Now, not all memes are bad. Some are [[:Image:Dog.jpg|really funny]]. Some are [[:Image:Well.PNG|alright, when used right]]. Others... others are... not as good.

Specifically? I'm talking about anything imported over from 4Chan. Lasers, lulz, and rape, oh my! Notorious culprits include a certain chiming man, a heartless smoker, and some reject dinosaur from a Don Bluth movie. No names here! See, this here is the poison that's slowly deteriorating the innards of the WUW -- crappy jokes repeated ''ad nauseum'' until you vomit. Not only here, of course -- our poor forum is on its last legs, with more crappy memes piling down on it's frail back, jumping up and down like a bunch of hyperactive twelve-year-olds with overactive imaginations and no sense of story writing OH WAIT A MINUTE

What we need to do is abolish memes altogether so we can rely on actual ''humor'' to fuel our writing, rather than the same thing we've heard so many times before. If we fail to take control of our meme-spouting ways, we'll become worse off than we are now, to the point where all fiction will consist of 4Chan memes and lines from YouTube Poop.

We wouldn't want <s>LOTS OF SPAGHETTI</s> that, would we?

Like a great wise man once said, "too much of a good thing is an awesome thing, and too much of an awesome thing is... really, really awful."

Keep that in mind.

Do not get me started

Do ''not'' get me started

OH WAIT YOU DID DIDN'T YOU

All this talk about "dirty thirdies" that keeps popping up every now and again needs to stop, seriously. Aren't we over this crap by now? Are you all so butthurt about a couple words that you have to muster up all your power and come up with a totally bad-ass comeback (!!!!) demeaning second gens? I'm a third gen myself, and even I got caught up in it, so I'm not completely without sin, but really. Aren't we old enough to decide that enough is enough, and stop arguing?

OH WAIT A MINUTE
