One of the biggest memes plowing through the social networks are “Shit (place a specific group here) Say” quotations. Many of these presentations take the form of videos.
Google search results for “Shit say” will bring up results like:
Funny Shit Girls Say
Shit New Age Girls Say
Shit Asian Dads Say
Shit Democrats Say
Shit Christians Say to Atheists
Shit Vegans Say
Shit Gay Men Say to Women
Shit Kids Say
As you can see, any group can be represented. From many of the comments given on each forum or video’s page, it seems that a large number of people agree that the quotes given for a particular group are spot on.
It can be argued that many of the quotations are generic and could be associated with many different groups. Does this matter to those who find entertainment in the meme? It seems not.

With all the hoopla about the Alabama vs LSU game last week and Tyrann Mathieu’s nickname, this YouTube video about the honey badger got a lot more views.
The big game on FB this week was to post a video from YouTube about the number one song during the week you were born.

2. Find the song on YouTube.
3. Post without shame.
My song was “My Heart Has a Mind of It’s Own” sung by Connie Francis.
This past week, a popular meme has come back to Facebook. Users can add an app that will tell them what Hogwarts house they would be placed in (should they ever go to the magic school).
This isn’t the first time this meme has been featured on the social network, but I suppose Harry Potter will be popular for some years to come.
Anyway, when I saw that one of my FB friends had been placed in Hufflepuff, I had to post a favorite Second City video of mine. Wasn’t a Hufflepuff a Pokemon?
This video has been very popular on Facebook the past few days. People have been sharing it to show that not all the news shown on television is bad.
What most people don’t realize is that this story is from 2006. Of course, does that really matter, if the content improves your mood?
Jason McElwain, a high-functioning autistic, was permitted to play in his basketball team’s last game on February 15, 2006. Because of his success in that game, he has become a celebrity and a model for people suffering from autism. He even got to meet President Bush, who told him, “Our country was captivated by your amazing story on the basketball court.”
