You've probably heard about the godawful teen pop video on Youtube - Friday by Rachel Black. It's got commentators predicting the demise of the music industry, gained an impressive 38 million hits and got a dislike-to-like ratio that I've never seen before.

Rachel is a 13 year old American girl whose parents paid for a company to write a pop song for her, and shoot a video of her performing it. It's sort of sub-Katy Perry and focusses around the daily life of Rebecca - how she gets up at 7am and eats a bowl of cereal, has to choose what seat to get into on the car, then sits in the car and then gets down on Friday night.

It's dreadful yes, yet sort of compelling. I've watched it four times. I can't help myself. But even more compelling are the memes it has birthed. You'll need to watch it before you'll really appreciate these, so if you haven't, do it now. Then flick through these gems.

Err, well you won't want this open on your work computer, but someone on the internet has made a clock OUT OF NAKED MEN. It's a sort of naked man-themed web app I guess.

If you click on the little naked men, then they change from being an analogue clock digital format and sometimes they have coloured balloons. It was created on the forum http://lovedbdb.com

Is this feminism gone mad? Well I don't really know, but it's sort of funny to look at. And hey, it's another way to tell the time. We're just giving y'all some options. It has an iPhone app too if it's the sort of thing you'd like to look at on-the-go.

Today's meme can be best described as... Mashing up the bad bits of one social networking site with the bad bits of another social networking site to make something mind-bogglingly dystopian.

Social networking? More like terror networking. The single and best example of this I have come across is Facespace a truly genius concoction of Facebook and MySpace - mixing, yes the songs that auto-play from MySpace with the "melodramatic friend spam" from Facebook, with the give-me-your-credit-card-ads from MySpace and the 500 pictures of me in my bathroom from Facebook.

Pretty please will someone do Twitter and Bebo?

Look, this is what you get if you click on anything... ROFL

Related: Meme of the Day: LOL-graphs

Lolgraphs, oh how you fill me with pleasure. I'm always up for the graphic display of information in venn diagrams, bar charts, line graphs or giant adjustable swine flu infection maps (the BBC had a great one). Putting facts in graphs makes them easier to understand. Adding 'lols' to the basic appeal of graphs, lolgraphs make funny stuff funnier, by giving it the completely undeserved appearance of scientific accuracy. Graph to the left is a lovely example.

Where do I find these lovelies:

Check graphjam part of the icanhazcheezburger family.

How-to:
1. Think of some true fact of life
2. Work out how to display it graphically
3. Use cheezburger's builder here to make a graph with it
4. LOL.

Got any good ones? stick them in the comments...

Aw dogs. Cute the right way round, twice as cute the wrong way round.

This meme is a nice simple one: 1. Get a dog; 2.Turn it upside down; 3. Photograph its cutely-deformed face and post it on an appropriate internet forum. I suggest http://upsidedowndogs.com/

The jowlier the dog, the better the resulting photo.

Too '08 I hear you say? Well, say that to Rachel from the Isle of Man who has just posted a lovely picture of her 3-year old Boxer, Ellie, lying upside down.

This meme is alive, well and lying on its back, drooling slightly.
