Internet Humour Memes

Anyone blessed with the joy of email will know the awful feeling of receiving yet another hilarious piece of Internet humour. This will invariably be badly formatted and cc'ed to at least 100 other people. You will also have seen it before, and perhaps chuckled slightly, or maybe the corner of your mouth crinkled up. However this time it's not at all funny.

We present an ironic look at some of the least-loved articles of memetic humour ever to grace your mailbox.
