This blog is a product of myself, Cole Wohler, and was the command center for my assignments in my Intro to Media Arts and Game Development class. I posted all my articles and projects to it, and now I'm keeping it updated with other things I find interesting. I go by my nicknames Ninja or Bear, or just plain Cole.

Know Your Meme: 'Dat Ass
The 'Dat Ass image macro series is based on a still photo of rapper Rich Boy that was taken during his visit to MTV's TRL show in March 2007. He was biting his lip while trying to listen to someone speak in the audience. The picture and response of "Dat Ass" have been used as a popular post in rump threads.
The picture is believed to be created by an Anonymous user of 4chan in a rump thread.
Know Your Meme intelligently describes its usage as, "'Dat Ass' images are typically used when a user would like a thread relating to a human posterior or “ass”. Notably a “bubble butt” thread. It can also be used to compliment another person’s well shaped buttocks. Also, Dat Ass images can be sometimes represented in the form of emoticon, which reads: :E, 8E, XE."
The meme has been used in Saturday Night Live on a January 16th skit when Sigourney Weaver was referenced on the internet by an anonymous user.
