The cute baby animal is supposed to represent one of those omnipresent Internet memes that are so annoying that they cause spontaneous cranial explosions through massive cerebral irritation. I have no idea whether Mr. Pagelow is referencing an actual meme, or just making fun general of their viral character, but I wouldn’t waste any time trying to find out. I might end up seeing something that would make my head explode.
A while back I tutored an HS senior who did modeling and dance. I mentioned her to another such student (male) and he asked if I had her picture. I told him his head would explode. hehe
@ Powers – If that’s a reflection on me, then maybe it’s time to take a sabbatical, but if it’s a reflection on Internet memes, then it’s business as usual:
Patrick has it. It’s a pretty common internet saying, that a
picture is so cute your head will explode (or “asplode” or
“go splody”).
Surely it’s only common amongst those so infected with hyperbolic disorder, and so terminally hard of thinking, that they should be ignored, unless they are being ridiculed for having a mental age lower than their shoe size?

I think the picture is supposed to be so cute it makes your head explode. Note Buni’s tear.

“Cold”, or just not excited by a photograph of a baby wholly inappropriate pet?
