The 2012 Summer Olympic Games (The Games of the XXX Olympiad) were held in London, UK from 27th of July, 2012 to 12th of August 2012. London won the bid to host the 2012 Summer Olympics on the 6th of July, 2005 promising to deliver an environmentally-sustainable Olympics and is the only city to this point to host the Olympics three times. Over 10,000 athletes representing 204 countries took part in the global event and marks the first Olympic Games where all competing teams had a minimum of one female competitor.

Since the evolution of the internet since the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing until now, people have been looking for exploitable moments in the Olympics to create memes from. And so, the London Olympics has had many image macros created after odd or humorous events which has even spawned a facebook page.

London 2012 Official Logo

The LOGOC unveiled the official logo which was designed by Wolff Olins, a London-based branding company on the 4th of June, 2007. The logo consists of a rough depiction of an athlete’s body while simultaneously spelling out “2012” with the Olympic Rings in the “head” and the word ‘london’ in the “arm”. The logo was depicted with 4 colors reflecting the city’s impact on modern society. The logo was designed to appeal to young people in it’s unusual shape and explosively-colorful design. But instead, it has seen mostly negative criticism. In a poll performed by the BBC in the UK in June 2007, 80% of all votes strongly disapproved of the logo. Iran threatened to boycott the games, because the logo could spell out “Zion”. (a synonym for Jerusalem)

But the logo had some memetic qualities as well. Many online users had said that the logo looks like Lisa Simpson giving a blow job to Bart Simpson. A quick rearrangement of the colors makes this visualisation easier to understand.

After all, isn’t this the “XXX” Olympic Games?

One Is Not Amused

One of the earlier memes to appear from the games was One Is Not Amused, an image macro series of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II at the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony looking bored or disgruntled. The series is similar to the already well-known Lolcat meme, X is not amused.

Olympics or Gay Porn?

Full Article

Olympics or Gay Porn? is a meme based on the men’s high dive events. The score bar at the lower section of the screen would cover the lower-mid section of the competitor’s body. This would leave the impression that the competitor was naked and the screenshot was from a homosexual pornographic film when viewed without context.

McKayla is Not Impressed

About

Nebula GIFs, also known as Galaxy GIFs, are a series of GIF format images in which certain sections of the image are obscured by flashing patterns of nebulae or other galactic scenery. Due to their frequent usage in inspirational photo quotes on Tumblr, Nebula GIFs are associated with hipster stereotypes on the microblogging social network site.

Origin

Stock images of nebulae taken by the Hubble Space Telescope have been circulating on Tumblr^[15] since as early as January 2010, while inspirational photo quotes featuring pictures of nebulae have appeared as early as February 2010.^[10]Single topic blogs dedicated to making fun of this trend were created as early as August 2010, starting with the launch of That’s A Fucking Nebula^[11], followed by Fuck Yeah Text Over Nebulas^[12] and Text in Space.^[13]

Meanwhile, GIFs utilizing images of nebulae began appearing on Tumblr as as early as December 7th, 2010, when Tumblr user VeryCherryPeel^[14] posted an animated GIF showing a silhouette of two people in a sexual position with its foreground obscured by flashing nebulae.

Spread

On January 18th, 2011, Galaxies In Shit^[1] became the first single topic blog solely dedicated to sharing nebula GIFs on Tumblr, followed by Fuck Yeah Nebula GIFs^[2] that was launched on March 30th. The nubulae GIFs are typically shared on Tumblr through designated tags nebula-gif^[3] and galaxy-gif^[4], but also through through more generic tags like space-gif^[5] and hipster-gif.^[6] In addition, tutorials on how to create nebula GIFs can be found on Galaxies in Shit^[7], single topic tutorial blogs like FYTutorials^[8] and FYeahTutorial,^[9] as well as on YouTube, where the earliest tutorial video (shown below, left) was uploaded on May 18th, 2011.

Notable Examples

Nebula GIF images have been used by Tumblr bloggers for various purposes, most prominently as a decorative texture in photoshopped images, as a design pattern for accessories and fashion products and also as background images for social networking profile pages or personal blogs.

“Good Thing I’m a faggot” is a new meme that originated on 4Chan’s /b/ (Random) Imageboard, invoking a large amount of OC and spinoffs such as “Good thing I’m a nigger” and others that I won’t mention here.

4Chan is known for their Trolling and large amount of OC, some may refer to it as a Fountain of Trolls, OC, and “OP is a Faggot”

Background

On August 13th, 2012, NYC-based comedian Matt Fisher^[3] wrote a blog post titled “My Sister Paid Progressive Insurance to Defend Her Killer in Court”^[1] to his Tumblr. In the post, Fisher revealed the story of his late sister Kaitlynn Fisher, who was killed by an underinsured driver in a car accident on June 19th, 2010^[2], and held Progressive liable for the difference between the payment from the other driver’s insurance company, Nationwide, and the value of Kaitlynn’s policy. Fisher further explained that Progressive refused to pay his family and due to a Maryland law that immunizes insurance companies from lawsuits, Fisher’s family had to file a civil suit against the other driver. Instead of settling, Progressive offered to pay approximately 1/3 of the owed amount before letting it go to trial, where Fisher claimed that the other driver was defended by Progressive’s legal team.

Notable Developments

On Social Networks

At 11:00 a.m. (EST) on August 13th, Matt Fisher tweeted a link to his blog post, mentioning the insurance company’s Twitter handle^[5] as well. A few hours after Fisher’s post on Twitter, Wil Wheaton tweeted out the link as well^[7], which led to more than 2,653 retweets. Within 24 hours, Fisher’s Tumblr post gained 10,267 notes and his Twitter message received 1,253 retweets.

My Sister Paid @progressive Insurance To Defend Her Killer In Court: mattfisher.tumblr.com/post/293384782…

— Matt Fisher (@fishermatt) August 13, 2012

That evening, Gawker^[4] also featured a link to Fisher’s blog post and pointed out that Progressive’s Twitter account had used an automated response to those retweeting Fisher’s link, which stated that the company “fully investigated this claim and relevant background, and feel we properly handled the claim within our contractual obligations.” The automated response was reposted at least 16 times before Progressive’s Twitlonger account was banned^[6] and the tweets deleted.

A link to Gawker’s post was later tweeted by comedian and actor Patton Oswalt^[8], which was retweeted 6,336 times. By the end of the day, Progressive had been mentioned at least 6,579 times on Twitter.^[9] At the same time, Facebook users began flocking to both Progressive’s official page^[21] and their mascot Flo’s fan page^[22] to criticize the company’s actions.

However, they were met by the same canned response issued by the company. While the debacle had little effect on Progressive’s total number of Facebook likes, the volume of chatters about Flo’s Facebook fan page drastically increased on the 13th.^[27]

Blog Coverage

On the same day Fisher posted his story, his blog post was linked on the internet culture blogs Gawker^[4] and Death and Taxes^[10], as well as the Inquisitr^[11] and the New York Observer.^[12] The following morning on August 14th, the story was featured on various blogs and news sites including Business Insider^[13], Thought Catalog^[14], the Daily Dot^[15], Uproxx^[16], the Huffington Post^[17], New York Daily News^[18], the Frisky^[19] and Mashable.^[20] Many of the news articles covering the scandal not only linked to Fisher’s original post, but also included screenshot images of Progressive’s automated Twitter response, and critiqued their lacking efforts in personal interaction.

Progressive’s Official Response

At 2:00 p.m. (EST) on August 14th, Progressive Claims General Manager Chris Wolf issued an official statement^[23] regarding Fisher’s case. Wolf claimed that the defendant in the case was represented by a lawyer from his insurance company, Nationwide. However, as of August 14th, Nationwide has not confirmed or denied any involvement in the case.

I’d like to take this opportunity to explain Progressive’s role in this complex case. First and foremost, our deepest sympathies go out to Kaitlynn Fisher’s family.

To be very clear, Progressive did not serve as the attorney for the defendant in this case. He was defended by his insurance company, Nationwide.

There was a question as to who was at fault, and a jury decided in the Fisher family’s favor just last week. We respect the verdict and now can continue to work with the Fisher family to reach a resolution.

Claims General Manager

Fisher’s Follow-Up Post

In response to Wolf’s statement, Matt Fisher posted a follow-up blog article^[24] recounting his experience in the courtroom, where he witnessed the attorney identify himself as Jeffrey R. Moffet, a representative of Progressive Advanced Insurance Company. According to Fisher, Moffat conferred with the defendant, cross-examined the plaintiff’s witnesses, questioned the defense’s witnesses during direct examination, made objections on the defendant’s behalf and gave a closing argument where he argued that Kaitlynn Fisher was responsible for the accident.

Fisher also provided a link to the case information^[25] provided by the Maryland state court system, which lists Jeffrey R. Moffet as an “interested party” representing the law offices of Progressive Casualty Insurance. Gawker^[26] also pointed out that these documents include a motion filed on May 19th, 2011, allowing Mr. Moffet to intervene for the defendant and Progressive was granted all rights as if they were one of the original parties to the case.

Kill Yourself, also known in plural as Kill Yourselves (if more than one person is involved), depicts a man dressed in a suit and giving off a “stop” gesture with his hand. The meme is commonly used in chat rooms and social networking sites in response to incompetent and/or pathetic remarks, statements, or images, with the purpose of telling those who it is directed at that they should just kill themselves for having said or done something so pathetic.

Origin

The exact origin of the meme is currently unknown, however it is believed that it began through this image:

The image depicts a young teenager proposing to his girlfriend with a pair of sneakers, with the added captions “will you swag me?” and “omg yolo”, clearly poking fun at the use of the “Swag” and “YOLO” memes. The image was uploaded onto Facebook on several pages, predominantly “sick jokes” ones, where they obtained thousands of likes and comments.

Spread

If the image above is indeed the first instance of the meme being used, the use of it on Facebook increased rapidly, with one early example being a status update by one “Stif Benitez”. In the status, Stif describes how he would have intercourse with a woman. Having 103,038 subscribers at the time, the individual who placed the Kill Yourself meme below it also added the caption “103,038 people subscribed to this c*nt?” above the “Kill Yourselves.” caption.

A forum or image board trolling technique tricking users into posting on a thread with claim that they will win a prize or other reward for being the ‘last poster’ on the thread.

This, however, is impossible for most forums, as there is typically no limit to the amount of replies a thread receives, unless a site moderator or administrator ‘locks’ the thread so users are no longer able to post. This often results in the punishment of the original poster of the thread by the moderators and possible lulz.

Operation Antisec: Stratfor E-mail Hack

On February 27th, 2012, Wikileaks began publishing more than 5 million e-mails^[12] that were allegedly obtained by Operation Antisec-affiliated hackers from the private security firm Strategic Forecasting Inc. (Stratfor) on December 24th, 2011. Following the release of documents, Anonymous-affiliated Twitter feeds @AnonOps, @AnonyOps and @YourAnonNews posted links to the Wikileaks page along with warnings about upcoming leaks. According to the Wired article^[12] citing an anonymous source, the hackers decided to turn the information over to Wikileaks because the site was deemed more capable of analyzing and publishing the data.

WikiLeaks Releases TrapWire Documents

On August 9th, 2012, international news publication Wikileaks released a new batch of documents about a governmental surveillance program known as TrapWire, a predictive software designed by the U.S. security firms Stratfor and Abraxas Corp to detect early signs of impending terrorist plots. Due to the covert nature of its operations prior to the release of the documents, the news was quickly met by baseless speculations and sensational headlines in the blogosphere as well as mainstream news outlets.

Notable Developments

News Media Coverage

WikiLeaks’ release of new materials obtained from Stratfor was picked up by various technology news sites and internet culture blogs that same day, beginning with English-language Russian news sites The Voice of Russia and Russia Today. The initial report was subsequently posted to the political discussion site Democratic Underground later that evening. In the following days, the “Big Brother” scare in the news media continued to spread with its coverage on Boing Boing and IO9 on August 11th, Geekosystem and Salon on August 12th and followed by The New York Times, Daily Beast, PC Magazine, Gawker and Wired on August 13th and 14th.

WikiLeaks Under DDoS Attack

Meanwhile, WikiLeaks’ server outage became noticeably more frequent shortly after the release of the e-mails, rendering the site virtually inaccessible for many. Soon, it became evident that WikiLeaks had been targeted with a series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, when an unknown individual calling oneself AntiLeaks openly claimed responsibility for the website’s downtime since as early as August 3rd.

In addition, the mysterious hacker also managed to bring down several mirror sites set up by Anonymous supporters of WikiLeaks. As a result of sustained DDoS attacks on the site, WikiLeaks remained largely inaccessible for more than ten days until August 15th, when the content delivery network CloudFlare provided assistance to bring it back online.

“They took our jobs” was made famous by the popular TV show Southpark, with over 2 millon views on a compilation video on Youtube.

In the episode, immigrants from the future who are redundant/jobless come to South Park, Collorado to find work for very little money. They rapidly take people’s jobs, and finally they are found on every corner in every restaurant , in every supermarket etc. This angers right wing politicians or what is commonly referred to as “rednecks”. At a meeting to discuss their concern with the immigrants, construction worker Darryl Weathers complains that they have worked hard to get their pay high enough to make a living, but now are being ousted by the immigrants. The other workers voice their own complaints, with each sentence finishing off with an increasingly slurred exclamation of “They took our jobs!” (“Dey turk err jurbs,” “Durker durr,” etc
They’re solution was to make everyone “gayer so the future won’t exist”. This causes everyone stripping and engaging in an orgy. Slowly, the people who were redundant begin to add to this , which causes the immigrants to dissapear.
