More Monkey Memes

And of course, here are a few more monkey memes that reflect more on pop culture today~

So whether it be Star Trek, ex-mayor Ford or Batman's Bane, there is always a way to incorporate a meme into pop culture. These are more memes that have reached Tumblr in popularity trending on more than one tag.

Darwin: Ikea money meme

So the news has blown up with the talk of Darwin, the money in a coat found outside a Toronto Ikea's store. The domesticaled money has also blown up on Twitter and of course... the memes.

This is one of the cuter ones I found while searching through the now endless pages of my tumblr account. For those who don't quite understand the reference and can't hear the screechy voice calling in yoru head, the quote is from the over played Ikea sales advertisement on television. The commercial is made up on a woman receiving a low sales receipt and running to the car yelling at her husband to 'start the car' before they can be taken back to pay the extra money (showing just how low their prices are).
Now on this, it's amusing that they used the line from an Ikea commercial for the Ikea money, it only seems to fit perfectly in my opinion, but pressing this all further, why are the other ones funny? Why did this blow up like so many other unique news stories? The general answer is 'because it's not something you see everyday and it makes you laugh instead of cry like so many of the other stories in the news'. Also, when asked someone called out "Because moneys are cute". Yeah, they are and that's probably why this has also blown up that extra bit where it's now spamming all the mainstream blogging and social media sites.
The other one that reached the top trending list is 'Who wore it better' spoof off the gossip websites and magazines where celebrities int he same outfits are compared to one another.

Shark Fin Ban Overturned

Do you agree or disagree with the Ontario Superior Court's decision to overturn the Toronto ban on shark fin products. Referring to the article and Sharkwater give reasons to support your opinion.

Yesterday, December 2nd, the Toronto Star published an article on the very event. I disagree entirely however understand some of the views of the oposing side. True it came across as racist, targeting the Chinese comunity by banning a part of their culture however it was a council member of Chinese herritage who proposed the ban in the first place so unless the oposition meant to call her a heritic or something along the lines of one, they've taken the ban the wrong way. Ivory has been on ban for a while now and it was established to help the elephants. Practically no one in Toronto or Canada objected, or more they did it without the rage and uproar of the media on the subject and that ban was placed to protect elephants. Why has the Shark fin industry become so big and massive and powerful?
One of the arguments was that they (Toronto councilors) didn't ban anything else from different cultures that showed harm towards animals or other things but who's to say they didn't have a list of intended bans and this was the first to be passed. The oposing side has now set the bar of what can be done and now it's expected there may be a roar in North Vancouver and Calgary where Shark Fins have also been banned. This isn't just for Shark Fins either, if the councilors did intend to place a ban on anything else, who's to say now those groups it works againsty won't rise as well and challenge to have the ban overturned?
The first domino has been tipped and now it's only a matter of time before this one taps the next.
