KickStarting a Revolution

I know that it's superficial, but I have an extremely hard time taking a blog post interspersed with large meme pictures seriously. I think you should only use them if your target audience is teens, and when you're near their age as well, trying to write something "popular". Definitely not when attempting to write a serious post.

Note that this is the same blog that recently started a post[0] with:

  TL;DR? Why not just go watch another five second video of a kitten 
  with its head in a toilet roll, or a 140 character description 
  of a meal your friend just stuffed in their mouth. “nom nom”. 
  This blog post is not for you.

which makes this seem quite ironic.

I'm so tired of memes. Most of them look stupid to me now, and I bet that articles that are written with that style now and are read in five to ten years (for the articles that are still relevant in that time), they are going to look weird and dorky.

These are not "meme pictures" but rather image macros[0].
