    Default Memes a way to advertise american culture?

    watch this video it explains it very well and i will explain it in the american context



    i hate memes too, who the hell wants to watch things like startrek or futurama. I never watched startrek in my whole life but this stupid meme annoys me

    if you look at the face palm meme its much more lame if you see the real original



    same for futurama, they are very annoying and poping up all the time. They are not funny anymore, and they actually never were in the first place. I only use facepalm as smileys to say other people in forums that they are retarded without if they annoy me. Since i know this is how people feel about seeing it, since its dominating gesture.

    The reason why memes are so big is because it helps to promote american culture like movies, music, tv shows, games and so on. Its supported by american media since it helps to sell their stuff, if i want to understand the face palm meme for example i have to watch the whole startrek series which helps to boost their sales and american pockets.

    memes are very dangerous for non american cultures, since its mostly their stuff who gets free advertisements in places not related to american products and culture. If you also notice almost all memes are always made in english language, i know only that russians often times make them in russian but germans for example dont make them in german.

    its because russians are not as much dominated by american culture


    this russian meme here means Chelyabinsk before and after the meteorite storm for example, since the town is something like russias Detroit.

    More likely because Russians are notoriously bad at learning foreign languages.

    Russia is too isolationist and does not participate with global culture. So Amerika will continue to export Western Culture. :cool_002:
