Memes Attack Blog Post 4

This meme requires that you know the popular song "Call Me Maybe." If you don't know the song then this meme isn't funny. I think people like cats and they want to show the world how much they like them. It almost seems like bragging or showing pride in cats. Many people don't like cats, so people may make cat memes to make cats seem more likable. 

In order to understand this meme you would have to know about or seen "The Matrix." This is mimicking the scene where the main character chooses to take a pill to see the "real world." You also have to know that most cats do not like vacuum cleaners, so it would be very weird for a cat to not be afraid of vacuum cleaners. This could be making a deeper statement about how reality isn't perhaps what it seems. Who knows, maybe everything we have ever know is an illusion.

This image had to have been created in Photoshop or some other image manipulating program. The picture is a composite of a cat picture and a Halo image. I think people believe Halo is a gruff, war game where you shoot and kill aliens. The kitten is not threatening at all, unless you become the size of something a kitten would want to chase or play with. Maybe it's a statement about how people feel so tough in Halo or other video games, but aren't that tough in the real world.
