Matt Langer: :(

langer:

So like any other person with a pulse I was devastated by the grotesque footage that came out of UC Davis on Friday night. And devastated in a way that stands out, too, since while there’s been no shortage of outrage over the past couple of months—what with so much police brutality being…

kind of exactly what I thought, but more articulate than anything I would have written. 

It is getting annoying that the image is proliferating in such a manner that make a joke out of what really happened though.

  10. macartney said: As has been said, satire, parody and caricature have always had their place, well before (and will well after) they were ever labeled “meme”. I suggest you check out the Met’s Infinite Jest exhibit, showing until March 4.

  13. annie-ivory said: An alternative approach: “Making a joke of” can be interpreted as “making light of”, but perhaps the intention of the “joke” (meme) can also be to illustrate ridiculousness & disgust thru parody? …w/ the advantage of propagating the message virally
