Ok, let me just say, I despise memes. The idea is distasteful, the word itself sounds kinda slimy... so why am I doing one? *sigh* Because it's a clever concept. And it was an interesting challenge. ( You win. )
When you consider "meme" the way Dawkins meant it, as a unit of cultural evolution, it's not so bad. The dumb surveys, ideally, should be short lived and selected against, while the intelligent ones spread like wildfire across friends' lists. Of course, this doesn't explain why the "insert one word and let a script calculate a steaming pile of random stupidity" type survey still propogates.
Incidentally, yeah, I guess this one doesn't have to be depressing. It's just that the two I saw before I did one with Metallica were with The Cure and Stabbing Westward.
