The internet is incredibly amazing. It’s an endless source of entertainment as it can really please pretty much everyone’s needs. You can buy, learn, watch funny videos, bet, and pretty much do or experience almost everything.
And one of the internet’s best inventions, made by millennials are the memes. As they not only give us an endless time of fun and laughs. But also these dorky pictures express how we feel perfectly.
The meme bible.
A guy named Jason Wong, a student who also is a social media influencer, has decided to do a tribute to one of the most influential aspects of the 21st century. And decided to create the “Holy Meme Bible.” It’s a coloring book full of 2016’s most viral memes, and it seems pretty legit due to the success of the mandala coloring books.
The content.
The book’s official website says you’ll find 16 pages full of the most iconic memes of the year. Featuring some fan favorites like Dat Boi, SpongeGar, Damn Daniel, Harambe, and more. Wong did a lot of research to feature the top memes on the book. “I started going back in history of major social media accounts that posted internet memes and noting the stuff that I felt was significant. After putting all the pictures and ideas on a Google Doc, I sent it off to my designer.”
Total success.
Wong said that his creation has received mixed reactions, but “mostly I’ve seen really positive reviews. Lots of praise, lots of people that said ‘Shit, I wish I did this earlier.” The book has been such a hit that it has sold out in just a few hours. “On the first day that I put the book up for sale, it sold out in a few hours and I was able to afford new inventory and invest in marketing the book on more social media platforms.” Wong said that his large following fanbase on Tumblr has helped him promote the book even more.
His motivation.
Wong decided to do the book not only because it’s literally a million dollars idea, but also because the memes have a meaning to him. “This past year, many significant events occurred, and I noticed that many people on the internet, myself included, resorted to using these memes to either cope or respond to these events. I wanted to document the number of memes that happened this past year and put it on a medium that no one has done before. Also, I needed money for tuition.”
