Memes can be cool, but I believe that people are trying to get a group to invade Area 51.
The Million-Loser March?

This is as close to social media as I regularly venture, so I'm not up on the memes. Basically Xist is my only source for late-breaking memedom.

Good thing it is not important!
Oh good. I am a source of unimportant things.

People laugh at all kinds of things that are not funny, like those jokes in elementary school, junior high, high school, college, and the various places I have worked.

Gizmodo has a pretty good write-up about this and where it started (on a joke Facebook page, apparently), and what might actually happen if people were to go through with it. I suspect most of the 1.5 million+ people who have responded to the event "going" and 1 million+ who have responded "interested" know it's a joke, but I also suspect there's at least a handful that don't and will actually try to walk up to Area 51 on September 20, who will be scooped up by the private contractors hired to patrol the base's perimeter and then sent on their way but will try to turn it into a media event or something about what the government's hiding or whatever. By September 23, everyone will have forgotten about the whole thing.
