Yes, you read that right.  The infamous “Jejemon” now has a page on Wikipedia.

Jejemon is a pop culture phenomenon in the Philippines. Jejemons are defined by Urban Dictionary as those “who has managed to subvert the English language to the point of incomprehensibility and online lynch squads.”^[1] A Jejemon is described as one of a “new breed of hipsters who have developed not only their own language and written text but also their own sub-culture and fashion.”^[2] Jejemons also imitate “gangster” like attitudes which make them similar to the English chav, Scottish ned, Irish skanger, Russian gopnik and Australian & New Zealand bogan.

What’s surprising is that it’s quite extensive.  Here’s the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jejemon

I just love the way this website let’s you navigate around.  All praises to this volkswagen site from Australia.  http://follownoone.com.au.  The site is to promote the Volkswagen Polo car.  To navigate, you get to use the up, down, left and right keys on your keyboard and it moves just like a remote controlled car would.  Real fun driving over content and parking on spots to open up information.  Check it out here: http://follownoone.com.au Follow No One.
