And documenting the most popular and often most cruel pieces of creativity is http://knowyourmeme.com/

From the very funny
Lying Down Game is a mass-participatory meme that involves having one’s photograph taken whilst lying rigidly face down in public space and then sharing the image via internet. Since becoming popular through Facebook around June 2009, the viral game has spawned thousands of photos of people lying flat in public landscapes across the world. The official Facebook Group hosts over 19,000 pictures.

In the end, “know your meme” is a cautionary tale to people around the world. And I guess, an extra reminder to parents too.. Watch the fuck out with the internets, coz once its on there, its on there! And if its a big cockup; EVERYONE ll know about it, everyone will have an opinion about it. And you can be sure there ll be some crazy ass derivative stuffs made on top of it!
Its great to see the worlds population create with whatever mad technologies are thrown out there! Its like a million monkeys with a typewriter and one of them accidentally writing Shakespeare. But with the internet bringing it to our homes and the rest of the monkeys flocking towards the awesome, weeding out the crap!
