Get your orders in now:

There are two reasons this is news. One, everyone loves Betty White because she's old and feisty and makes with the cougar-talk and she gets the joke. Two, it is obligatory on the internet to think Betty White = teh coolness, because . . . .

Because . . . bacon! Right? Bacon is funny now on the internet as well, because, well, everyone else is making bacon references. Betty White is now in the same category - just add reference, and it's cool, because it's a meme! That's fine. So it goes. Just be prepared, younger readers, to see your future in terms of nostalgia not for things that actually happened, but for things that were once popular memes. Right now oldsters in their 30s are nostalgic for All Your Base, not because it was necessarily funny, but because it was something they got and others didn't.

And now, my pointless remarks having concluded: keyboard cat, play me off.
