Now I know that successful business, is one set around a trend. Whether it's a 1980's Wendy's ad following the motto "where's the beef" in order to sell more greasy burgers into the ever growing mouth of American's, or the creation of fanny packs sending a trend for the average tourist in order to send a message out to surrounding people "hey, I have no sense of fashion! Please don't associate with me!" The point is that trends and business plans go hand in hand like me and my coffee (it's an unhealthy relationship, but a good one all the same).
However, in relation to the unhealthy relationship, trends tend to change. Whether a new month, new season, new year, the opinion of millions change and for that trends die, and with it businesses die along beside it. That is of course unless the business brutally rips apart it's previous relationship with the trend in order to find a new trend that will keep it afloat for the next few months until that too dies out, and a cycle will form.
Now....to explain the picture at hand.
Sayings. Simply put. From "I've fallen and I can't get up," "I'm lovin' it," "Ch-ch-ch-chia," "snap into a slim-jim," "red-bull gives you wings," "choose life," "I'm a PC," "droid does," and so on and so-forth until the day we die, that a picture of a cat saying "I can has cheezeburger?" doesn't seem so off.
The popularity of the absolutely absurd saying has grown so popular that its begun to market itself into product like books and buttons and t-shirts, so now you can walk around on the street and people can stop and point and have a cheap laugh. But it is a trend and luckily it will eventually die a slow and painful death.
Thank God.
