  • Kitboga on a live call workshopping doing a gruff man character of his pretending to be Jennifer Lopez for a scammer on the other line. He didn’t go through with it in case it was TOO outlandish (it absolutely was too outlandish) but the moment he workshopped it, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed that hard. I can’t remember laughing that hard, anyway. And I would just lose it the rest of the day every time I thought about it. Mind you, this is like a couple hours into an eight hour call with some scammer, and he has this scammer entranced and brought into this insane story that was completely real to the scammer.













  • You’re totally right! They were there, but sequestered to very specific places. You wouldn’t have run into a lot of memes or image macros at all unless you were part of the big sites for “internet culture”: LUE, SA, YTMND, /b/, then finally more mainstream stuff like Digg, Tumblr, Twitter, and Reddit. Shoot, “memes” had a whole different meaning than they do now! They weren’t even CALLED memes in th’ early 2000s even though the term existed, they began as being called “fads” and “meme” caught on in the early to mid 2000s!
