Win/Fail

October 16th, 2008

This post is meant for my non-tech friends out there who are often unfamiliar with internet trends and memes.  I feel its my duty to help them keep up with their kids.  Not that I’m trendy or cool by any means, simply because I pick up odds and ends because I work at a trendy and cool place with people much more hip than I. 

I recently needed to explain this phrase to my husband when I started laughing hysterically at the recent photo taken at a Senate hearing on the financial crisis.  The article from SLATE does a nice job of explaining the origins of this meme.  

Safe to say, that this simple one line phrase is an elequent desciption of our current economy.  I’m hoping that we don’t end up having to graduate to ‘Epic Fail’.
