  1. @cabal Making money off of memes isn't evil. It is, in fact, the foundation of all art. Every painting of a naked lady, or a bowl of fruit, or a nobleman on horseback, done by a painter in the Renaissance was done for money, and it was based off of earlier ideas-- memes-- that spread through society even in those days. (They just spread a lot slower.) Protesting KYM for making ad revenue through their site chronicling memes is even more ludicrous than protesting Disney for making money repackaging Brothers Grimm fables and ancient fairy tales as profitable cartoons. As for Anonymous, they are far from heroes. They have done some good things, and they have done some horrible things.
