You know that Keyboard Cat, the one that plays piano? It really doesn't; it's a fake.

If this is true, it's not surprising that it took off. It was highly plausible.

I make that same face when I'm pooping.

DamnYankees		2012-10-27 08:48:27 PM

No. I've never seen this picture.

GGracie		2012-10-27 08:54:04 PM

I feel so betrayed.

PhiloeBedoe		2012-10-27 08:55:00 PM

And that wasn't really a pizza box, it was from Domino's.

Bucky Katt		2012-10-27 08:56:16 PM

What picture?

Shostie		2012-10-27 08:56:30 PM

"Box for containing pizza-shaped objects" just isn't as eloquent.

The first time I saw the pic, everybody was saying it was probably faked.

Probably because nobody ever smiles like that naturally. It's so unnatural it's almost Uncanny Valley.

University of Alabama breathes a sigh of relief. "At least it wasn't really one of ours... this time."

They keep using that word meme in the article.

I'll bet you still get it a bit wrong from time to time, I know I have. The way I understand it is somebody makes some sort of joke. Then somebody bastardizes that joke in such a way that leads to more bastardization. Then you start to get into the whole life cycle of a meme.

That sounds about right. I had no idea meme was based on an ancient Greek word. All this time I thought it was images or phrases that showed up all over the place on the internet.

Me too...but I guess that's more like a viral image.

Any chance for libs to denigrate an entire culture based on one misconstrued example. Amiright?

Could you at least pretend to be genuine long enough to make your troll statements funny for the rest of us?

DamnYankees: No. I've never seen this picture.

I saw that picture weeks ago. When I saw it, it said it was a parody. Apparently, the parody part was stripped out, and then circulated as real. Now it appears that she's going to get crap for trying to intentionally mislead people.

Theeng		2012-10-27 11:54:02 PM

You mean people don't check the validity of things that confirm their world views? That those with the opposing political viewpoint are glad to see proof that their opposing sides is filled with ignorant racists?

I AM SHOCKED AND APPALLED.

WizardofToast		2012-10-27 11:54:15 PM

All this is going to do is further confuse me with Poe's Law.

Yep. It was clearly labeled as satirical on pundit kitchens page, but only in the description, not in the title or tags.

Pretty much exactly what everyone who commented on it said this would happen.

Jiro Dreams Of McRibs		2012-10-27 11:54:25 PM

Shoot. You can tell she's not from Alabama just by looking at her. She's not pregnant, you can't see her roots and she has all her teeth.

soy_bomb		2012-10-27 11:55:33 PM

No, there's actually 782,411 examples.

Once you're caught in a lie, you should stop lying.

So...um....what school is that anyway? Hoping for it to be one of the Five Colleges, would be nice.....

steamingpile		2012-10-28 12:00:04 AM

No never heard of it so it can't be that viral, the death threats don't surprise me since you are an awful human to quite a few people if you don't dare give St Obama 110% of your support.

bwilson27		2012-10-28 12:00:41 AM

Both sides are bad... So vote pizza?

It was a lot more coherent than some real Teabagger/Birther signs. I thought it was a definite improvement.

Approves.

xaveth		2012-10-28 12:03:20 AM

More egg in the face for the libs. Although, I'm sure she takes more than egg in her face.

Dear Jerk		2012-10-28 12:05:21 AM

In summary, an authentic picture made its way to the internet.
People made up stuff about it.
Other people got upset because they believed the made up stuff.

"I have been to Tea Party rallies, and I'm the first person to tell you that not all people in the Tea Party are nuts," she said. "I've talked to some extremely intelligent, well informed people. But let's face it. When anyone mentions the Tea Party, people think of the extremists."

She keeps using those words. I don't think they mean what she thinks they mean.
