Internet Content Creators across America are sending letters of thanks to United Airlines, says a top insider in the meme industry.
“I won’t lie, I was running on fumes. I’ve been lazy,” said one member of the meme creating central, 4Chan. “Trump has been so easy that I haven’t had to stretch my creative wings but you can only go to that well so often.”
Following the release of the viral video showing a man being dragged, kicking and screaming, off a United Airlines flight, the Internet spontaneously put aside all political sniping and united in an effort to savage United.
“I knew I was losing friends,” said Tom Johnson, a longtime favorite amongst his 257 Facebook friends and family as a meme creating genius. “But I was sucked into the political vortex. Then, like a green frog having descended from the mouth of an 80s pop star, came United beating the shit out of that annoying dude. And when I saw he was Asian? Fuck me, I lost it. I shot a double rainbow out of my crotch. I can only imagine what Jimmy Kimmel went through.”
A spokesperson for The Onion, the legendary satirical magazine that has make a seamless transition to the digital world, said that it was happy to see America get back to good old fashioned corporate giants beating up minorities.
Even Hot Take specialists, like The Huffington Post, Salon, and Breitbart found common ground.
Said apolitical writer, Laina Morris: “I can sell stuff to the right and the left with this thing. Pick a side and it’s there: cops and a corporation, a gay drug addict minority – as soon as Trump weighs in I’m going to get my kids braces.”
Seeing that the jokes had already jumped the shark, others offered caution.
“Some of them think this will last, but it won’t. You think you’re king shit and the next thing you know it’s Friday and no one is making the obvious joke, ” said The Kid Who Sung Chocolate Rain. “It’ll fade. Just you watch. It’ll fade. But don’t take my word for it, go ask Dane Cook. GO ASK DANE COOK!”
