[url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/meme][quote]Definition of MEME : an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture[/quote][/url] I don't see what you're getting mad about. It wouldn't be a meme if it stopped spreading.

Oh noes! The Interwebz isn't my secret club anymore! Who cares? It's not like any of you even made those memes and the definition of a meme is that it's widely used. How much more widely used can you get?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] WolfmanMaverick I think the bigger problem is them becoming commercialized.[/quote]That's it exactly. I think the internet presents a completely new era in human interaction and development. It's some kind of giant floating collection of everything the human mind has to offer: good, bad, and everything in between. Humor, something uniquely and wonderfully human, has a brand new medium that [i]everyone[/i] can contribute to (for that reason, we get funny things and [i]really stupid[/i] things). The result: memes. Love 'em or hate 'em, they come from a deeply human desire to share experiences and make connections. The internet finally makes that possible on a global scale. It just seems wrong to me to try to profit from it all. That said, there's really no reason why they shouldn't try.
