To know who rules over you, simply find the stupidest politician ... or media baron ...

What to do? What to do?

The minute that the pond demotes Cory from the banner and puts up George, Cory scores a couple of tremendous winners by breaking the golden rule of never twittering, at least if you have a third rate mind with a taste for fourth rate memes:


If only Cory was a post-modernist who spelled Playdough this way as a post-ironic comment on the way that modern education has failed hipsters ...

But the pond fears not, because there also came this one ...


And so on, and it set off a twitter storm, as you can see by heading off here for as long as the tweet lasts ...

The pond particularly loved this one, celebrated by the Fairfaxians here ...


That's a beautiful double whammy ...

Of course when the Fairfaxians wrote it up as a giggle, they went with the good old-fashioned Abe Lincoln meme about the internet being the best place to find a quote ...

But the pond has great respect for Cory's predilections, so surely the only meme to go with involves a death-defying breach of Godwin's Law:


But what to do, what to do?

Was it wrong to strip Cory of his rightful place?

And what if a bigger player comes along and snatches the trophy away from him yet again?


And so on ...

Ah well, it's a first world problem ...

  2. Have you noticed that the reptiles in The Australian are trying to game the Google News bots by putting the 'journos' potted bios in their headers so you get results like this.
