Straight from my piehole: Scumbag Steve. Meme of the year?

Is Scumbag Steve the meme of the year?

While everyone who has used the internet this year has once again been constantly inundated with lolcats and epic fails, many new memes have been making a good case for meme of the year. Most of this years class are based on the classic "advice dog" macro. From Good Guy Greg to First World Problems, there has definitely been a lot of strong competition.

For me there was only one new meme that had it all. It's Scumbag Steve and he's great on many different levels. Scumbag Steve is a guy that everyone knows. He's THAT guy. If you don't know a guy like this then it's probably you. It's also funny because the real guy in the picture is named Blake and is apparently an OK guy, but the picture took on a life of it's own as an asshole named Steve.

Scumbag Steve is an advice dog style macro meme. The meme is based on this picture.

The picture is of a guy named Blake Boston. It was taken from his rap groups myspace page. Their group is named "Beantown Mafia", their album title is "Ma Gangsta", and his rapper name is "Weezy B". As awesomely funny as all these names are, it keeps getting better.

Blake Boston, the real life scumbag Steve, was tracked down and interviewed by various web groups. It turns out that he doesn't rap anymore, he got a job, is going to school, and he's expecting a baby with his girlfriend. He's actually a decent guy!
