T-Pain my MEME
I actually found this meme as part of another meme called Greg Rutters Second Definitive List of the 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced on the Internet Unless You’re a Loser or Old or Something that was Stumbled to me. This video was originally April 20, 2009 (longevity) and has 4, 207,988 views and counting. It has also spawned 10 official videos made by the same person, as well as parodies of this video created by others (fidelity), with #3 arriving just a month after this one (fecundity). Although not everyone is familiar with the hip-hop artist T-Pain, for those of us that are, it is apparent that this video is a spoof on the idea that “T-Paining” something, even the news, can make it better. These things, in addition that I am even blogging about it now make this meme stand up to the four point described for data collection in the Postman article.
