 <title>The Meme That Ate Our Brains.</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/node/1974</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;It spread like wildfire... the Bubonic Plague... that rash I got last summer from a new, pungent laundry detergent I&#039;d never used before. It was &lt;em&gt;The Four Things Meme&lt;/em&gt;. And few on the M&amp;amp;F blogroll would escape its deadly quadrangular embrace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A small sampling of the &lt;em&gt;Meme Cautionary Tales&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Behold &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jenandtonic.ca/archives/000788.html&quot;&gt;JenB&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Four movies I can watch over and over&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; selections, notably heavy on the Canadians. Which she is all aboot. I mean &lt;em&gt;about&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Contemplate &lt;a href=&quot;http://finslippy.typepad.com/finslippy/2006/02/the_meme_that_s.html&quot;&gt;Alice&#039;s &lt;em&gt;Four celebrities I have bothered&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;,  which, while not &lt;em&gt;technically&lt;/em&gt; a part of the actual meme in its original form, somehow still manages to capture the spirit of, umm, listing four things. Good job there, Alice!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gaze in wonder upon the (again, newly added) &lt;a href=&quot;http://hulaseventy.blogspot.com/2006/02/four-things.html&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Four items in my purse&lt;/em&gt; category from HulaSeventy&lt;/a&gt;, and feel wracked with equal parts guilt and jealousy that you do not carry around a &lt;em&gt;&quot;faux fur change purse with pennies for the fountain at fellini&#039;s&quot;&lt;/em&gt;... because don&#039;t you think your life would be better -- or at the very least substantially more dramatic and romantic -- if you did?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;++++++++++&lt;br /&gt;
