Proposal

__Internet Meme Proposal:__
Ideas: Take the given picture and put a variety of subtitles onto it making it funny in different contexts. The picture should also be able to be adapted to suit a wide range of use, thus allowing the internet population to make their own adaptations and thus making it accessible to a wider audience.

Preparation: We have taken the time to look over some scholarly materials on the subject of web mimetics; particularly Limor Shifman's Research paper: "Assessing Global Diffusion withWeb Memetics: The Spread and Evolution of a Popular Joke".

//(Limor Shifman, M. T. (2009). Assessing Global Diffusion withWeb Memetics: The Spread and Evolution of a Popular Joke. Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2567-2576.)//

Execution: Find pictures which can be used as a basis for a meme, these pictures can be of anything or anyone, it can also be a still from a movie or show. Pictures which go viral often fit into one or more of the following categories: gross, funny, cute, scary, weird. Think of creative ways in which the picture and the subtitles can be used in different contexts. Make the memes in a photo editing program, and post them on various forums and make sure that the original picture is available to users when requested. This will encourage others to make their own adaptations of the picture and help it go viral.
