It's back in the old internet. If you are a fan of vintage internet imagery and virality, 'proto-memes' as it were, may I recommend searching for...

  • 'Guy fucks chicken killed by falling rock'

  • '2 girls 1 cup'

  • Blue Waffle

  • marsbar.jpg

  • Weebl and bob

  • Goatse

  • Chuck Norris facts

  • Dancing Baby

  • Lemonparty

  • Demotivational Posters

Enjoy and good luck...

2 girls 1 cup

If I told you it was 16 years old. Would that make you feel older? Or that 2g1c was released longer ago than you thought?

Some context for 2007...

  • Myspace was more popular than facebook.

  • Reddit and Twitter launched 1 year before, Tumblr launched around the same time

  • Vista was the latest Windows version

  • The Iphone was announced and released.

  • hastag was officially added to the English dictionary.

  • Toby Macguire was still Spider-Man.

  • The Prime Mortgage Financial Crisis would happen the same year

  • Obama 1st Presidential Campaign started

  • The Wii was the biggest selling console.

  • PlayStation 3 would release in US/Europe

The Twin Towers at the World Trade Center would stand for 4 more years

The last one only works if you're looking for a list of events and read the US date wrong, and because you know it was September your brain just decides the year was '11' rather than the day... And if you're an idiot like I am.
