Visible Domo

Cute meets disturbing, with Jason Freeny's Domo Qee Anatomy. This is what nightmares are made of.

Domo-kun is one of those strange marriages of Japanese and web culture... wait, I suppose I don't really need to add that qualifier as it really goes without saying. I had seem images of Domo all over the web before I actually knew what it was, a mascot for Japan's NHK television station that has become a harbinger of doom in his online incarnation. Know Your Meme can tell you all you need to know.

Anyway, long story short, master illustrator Jason Freeny has shown us all what Domo looks like inside, because we were all wondering but didn't know how to ask. It's the Internet, kids! You learn something you didn't need to know everyday.

Meme-tastic Update: Keyboard Cat's Last Supper

A Last Supper featuring Keyboard Cat as Jesus and animal memes as the disciples? This is web geekery heaven!

So the mother of the Sneezing Panda is Judas? I suppose, Keyboard Cat is certainly stealing his limelight. I also see Dramatic Prarie Dog, Limecat, Pancake Bunny, Spaghetti Cat, the O RLY? Owl, Hamster Dance, Domo-Kun and Ceiling Cat. From Natasha S., who submitted this to Attack Of The Show's Keyboard Cat art competition.

The competition also included this great Andy Warhol-inspired take on Keyboard Cat's 15 minutes of fame. All the fan art was then auctioned off to support Kitten Rescue. (Link via Urlesque)

Holy Taco added to the meme-heavy week by calling on photoshoppers to add Gary Busey's head to every photo ever. The results were disturbing. Anyone want to slice me up some Busey heads so I can add them to the Last Supper?

Of course the meme giant of the week was Interrupting Kanye. That guy showed up everywhere, even leaking back out of the internet and into office fridges.

Even Jack White of the White Stripes wasn't immune, interrupting the director of his documentary Under Great White Northern Lights during the Q&A at the Toronto International Film Festival. (Thanks to Nik at Nite for the tip and bravo to TIFF for allowing Q&As at the Elgin. It's about time!)
