She might not be a friend of Iran, but Hilary Clinton sure knows what to do when she's being memed, with the old adage, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Make no mistake, when a meme of Clinton start pinging across the tumblrs and twitters there's just no way of stopping it.
But spoofs of the Secretary texting with her sunnies on and being mocked for her 'scrunchie' wearing apparently had the politician clutching for her sides, not clutching for her lawyers.
They say Obama's twitter account won him the election, and they might not be far off the mark.
For nearly a generation we, the underlings, thought we owned the web. The social side of it, anyway.
Our elders and more responsibles didn’t know about things like blogs, tweets, memes, and so away we went, safe in the knowledge we had them on a platform they didn’t understand.
So refreshing is it, then, when one of the highers join us down here. Not just tweeting, but genuinely getting involved.
When a Secretary of State can actually meme herself, well, you know she's a keeper. Because she's just proven she knows where we are, what makes us tick.
It's connecting with the people that counts these days, not the policies you carry, just look at our Dave.
With a snazzy photoshopped campaign poster, and promise of hugging a hoody, we voted in (not me, personally, I hasten to add...) the most ruthless Prime Minister in terms of public service slashing my generation has ever seen.
And he had us at 'mydavidcameron'.
