found with google image search

so, sometimes memes aren't funny. internet memes are really about what's worth sharing (because sharing is the replicated behaviour) - humour works a lot but sometimes other things, like showing support, work as well.

i think it's interesting that people feel so strongly about this man and what he's done that they actually made this kind of meme to show their support for him.

remember when we were kids and pop-up meant that pictures unfolded as you turned the page? can you imagine your younger self coming to the future and seeing your browser proudly announcing that it had blocked pop-ups?

i use the same technique with my email addresses to find out which site gives my address to spammers. thank goodness for disposable email address services. probably a lot cleaner than disposable baby services.
