Any fad that starts off on the
internet and recieves minor, temporary interest from the tabloid press. Such examples are the paris hilton video, all your
base are belong to us, back orifice, child pornography, paedophilia/pedophilia, 14 year old hackers taking down the national grid or stealing
money from credit cards etc.
Due to the fact that most regular internet users are jack-off morons with a
lust for gratuitous sex/gratuitous violence or other gratuitous shit,
internet fads tend to be very
ghey.
