I don’t get it. Is the atheist movement a delightful exercise in absurdist adaptations of well known memes, a victim as much of its own success as much as its existence on the Internet? Or just a bunch of silly white people wasting a lot of time and effort on nothing of consequence?
Help me out here, because I’m curious.

What is “the atheist movement” and what has it to do with He-man?
Huh. Seems I am no longer aware of all Internet traditions.

I must protest against that Know Your Meme entry. They refer to “the renamed He-Man character, Prince Adam”, which is entirely inaccurate. You might as well talk about “the renamed Batman character, Bruce Wayne”!
@3: So the video is a parody of something that was already a parody? Like…..wow….that’s….deeeeeeeeeeep.

If Adam looked like that in the original cartoon, then the whole He-Man alter-ego thing would have been a tad more believable.

Let us never forget: The title of the original song by 4 Non Blondes is “What’s Up?” Not “What’s Going On” or even “HEAAEAAYYAEEAAYY”, but “What’s Up?” Which is never said in the song.

Also, it is one of the worst songs ever recorded.
