The Internet memes we're thankful for
Hey, everyone, I�m Molly Wood, and welcome to the Buzz
Report, the show about the tech news that everyone is talking
about.
It�s the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S. this week,
and if you�ve been watching this show all year -- and I hope you
have -- you know that the thing that delights me most every week
is what�s clogging the tubes.
So, because I�m so thankful for the
insanity that the Internet brings us day after day � welcome to
our 2011 Thanksgiving Clogging the Tubes Spectacular!
I think a new meme has been born this year, actually -- people
entertaining critters.
The mariachis serenading the beluga
whales kind of kicked off the whole thing, and it really took off.
The jazz band serenading the cows might be my favorite, but
music works on geese, too!
Cat videos never get old, and neither does brilliant satire.
So, put
the two together, and you get this fantastic piece of work.
That is � genius.
Truly.
Speaking of genius, collegehumor dot
com delivered a lot of it this year -- it almost seems like cheating
to use their clips, but they nailed the Siri meme so brilliantly here
that no one can stop talking about it.
Also kind of big in the clogging universe this year?
Owls.
Turns
out, they�re friendly, adorable, love getting petted, and they play
with cats.
I mean.
Who knew!?
The Web continued to show us how history repeats itself, which
can be comforting in these troubled times � a protest speech
from 1964 kept Occupy protesters all fired up.
And of course � what would this technologically wondrous time
be if it didn�t also deliver a MASSIVE sense of perspective now
and again?
My friends and I were all mesmerized by this time-
lapse video made up of photos taken of Earth from space.
What more is there to say?
Thanks for a great year so far,
everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for watching.
