Can we talk about the 'Ikea Monkey' meme that started 12 years ago in Toronto?
I saw a documentary clip about it at the museum and realized the whole viral story was basically a perfect storm of a weird location, a cute animal, and a fast camera phone.

Wasn't that just the weirdest little news day?

My friend Mark got three separate news alerts about that celebrity pet adoption story. It felt like the whole internet was trying to make it a thing, which is exactly the weird energy you're talking about, nancyw97. The day just had that odd, forced vibe from start to finish.

Right? It's like the internet just picks a random Tuesday to lose its mind over nothing... I'm waiting for the next alert about what kind of kibble the dog eats.
