The last post ... of this year.

Ragefaces... That little meme that seems to get around the internet and whether or not you know were it came from you have probably seen it. Not only have you seen it, but you have probably made your own rage face when you were angry at something. In sort a rage face is expression you make when your mad but the rage faces have expanded in to many expressions like joy or ignorance. They are the poorly drawn MSPaint expressions of the users behind the computers.

Example:
rage

Do these rage faces deserve artistic merit? Probably, they are a pure form of expression that is easy accessible to any one on the internet. Thought the constant argument, due to the accessibility, if something is art.. That is an argument for another time.

These faces have gone all over the internet over the past few years and has even spawn a community and pop-clothing. The community is www.reddit.com/r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu and it has spawned thousands of comics and more than a few new faces. The clothing is, depending on your point of view is good or bad, but comes from HotTopic. So Ragefaces have moved in to mainstream, which begs the question, does this make it more or less a legitimate art form? Probably, in the same way that graffiti is art, but even that is just now becoming more recognized.

To end, its a fun comedic form and deserves to be more recognized, and this is my last blog of this year .... sry if im half-assing it but I want some turkey lulz.
