As long as the 2012 GOP primaries continue to linger on, so will Mitt Romney Memes. .. and I think we’re all grateful for that.
Sure Mitt, you may have lost the South to Santorum… but at least you achieved Internet infamy not once, but twice this week. And remember that in the end, Republican primaries will be forgotten – but your quotes will live on forever in the interwebs.
LUCILLE AND MITT
A little tumblr site scored big when they had the stroke of brilliance to mash up real Mitt Romney quotes with screen grabs of Arrested Development’s Lucille Bluth. I’m not sure what I love more – the fact that Lucille Bluth’s expressions perfectly encapsulate the GOP 2012 race… or that these quotes were actually said by Mitt Romney.
Some of my favs:
#youmightbemitt
When Jeff Foxworthy endorsed Mitt Romney last week, it was only a matter of time before all memedom broke loss. And lucky for us, the twitterverse quickly invented #youmightbemitt – a clever mash up of Foxworthy’s “You might be a redneck if…” and Mitt’s, well… infamous social awkwardness.
Here are a few of my favs: If you think chicken stock is what you buy when you invest in Tyson, you might be Mitt Romney. #YouMightBeMitt If your supporters can’t tell difference between you and Madame Tussaud’s wax figure of you, #YouMightBeMitt @indecision if people can’t distinguish between what you and Mr. Burns said, #YouMightBeMitt Until we meet again Mitt Memes… so next week? What’s your favorite Mitt Meme of the 2012 election?
