Welcome to another installment of Last Week’s Meme at the Engine Digital Blog, where we investigate the latest internet meme, a week too late. I’m sure you can guess what this week’s Last Week’s Meme is, since we haven’t seen an explosion of traffic around a piece of video like this since 37 million of us took part in the much loved Rick Roll.

BrosIcingBros

If you’ve been seeing a lot of guys on one knee in your online travels as of late, I can assure you it’s not a springtime rush of romance that has a bunch of dudes proposing marriage. Instead, it’s romance of another kind, and it’s been drinking up the internet lately as last weeks meme.

Youtube users freaking out over the new iPhone 4G

Wow, if you haven’t been following the whole iPhone leak story, you’ve really been missing out. It has everything Tom Cruise’s last good movie, Mission Impossible III, had!

Stimulant recently asked Engine Digital to submit 5 examples of random things that inspire us on a daily basis. The only caveat was that we couldn’t choose anything related to advertising in any way, shape or form. You wouldn’t think it would be that difficult but since almost everyone here at Engine lives and breathes advertising and nothing else the job ultimately fell on me.
