Be afraid, people.
On a side note, I spent a good chunk of my late teenage years on the various 'chans, it's weird seeing them get so much mainstream attention. People from my high school that barely knew how to use Youtube are now all gun-ho about memes, 4chan, etc on Facebook. 4Chan recently came up on a local radio station when a woman was talking about teenagers and hardcore pornography. Then you have the example above, where popular TV show (in Canada at least) skewers the whole movement. I dunno, maybe down the road it'll be remembered as the first internet counter-culture; something wicked cool that a bunch of kids born in the 1990s were a part of.
