MEME AND YOU!
Memes are a cultural cootie that spread from person to person. A popular mode or behavior that grows and multiplies by imitation and duplication and not by genetic means or public toilet seats.
We tumble, google, tube, twit, insta-gramble and book-face electronic images, videos and bumper sticker bubblegum and they are passed electronically from one Internet user to another–some are seen by untold trillions of life forms and transform the way we live.
TO MEME OR NOT TO MEME?
Hard to say if Memes are a cause or symptom–but the state of communication and entertainment has changed. Over the past 10 years 50% fewer Americans have televisions. Many people can’t talk on the telephone or write a letter in cursive. Newspapers have folded and magazines have been quartered. Even the food stamps that artists, filmmakers, musicans and writers depend on are electronic . A two hour TV show wrapped around broken down movies is a hard sell for folks who like to piece together their entertainment one still image and bad joke at a time.
MR. LOBO REACHES OUT TO THE MEME GENERATION!
We do know that there are CInsomniacs living among the internet generation–They need to know they are not alone. They need to know that Mr. Lobo cares. There is a war of ideas going on–all sides are fighting for real estate in your brain-pan–and most of the soldiers are unarmed.
This is why Mr. Lobo incourages ambitious fans to deconstruct his CINEMA INSOMNIA episodes and make memes out of them. With your help our hard work and ideas can also be snorted at and instantly dismissed by 87 Million People…
To what cultural effect? Who knows? If Years from now, just one poor soul out of 87 Million has an epiphany and seeks out CINEMA INSOMNIA and MR. LOBO and is saved…than all this meme warfare would probably be considered a waste of time. But lets hope our Mr. Lobo’s Meme hunt is more successful than that.
Thanks to CInsomniacs Elissa Lynn, Dixie Dellamorto, Lawrence Laney Loftin, Andrew Leung, and Sci-Fi Bob Ekman for getting into our heads and helping us kick off the Great Mr. Lobo Meme Hunt.

CINSOMNIACAT or “Tard”(No relation to the Grumpy Cat “Tardar Sauce”) is a hermaphrodite–female internals, but no nipples–blind in one eye and is totally schizophrenic. One of those cats that will let you pet her, then attack. Funny, right?
THANKS FOR THE MEME-ORIES!
Mr. Lobo insists that the higher demand for newer color pictures and the disappearance of the original proof are the main reasons it’ll be harder to get this photo in the future and not contract negotiations. The usually outspoken houseplant with a history of drinking problems had no comment but is slated to be in the studio this week and will be in at least 3 of the new episodes in production. You can still get other 8×10′s here at the Horror Hosts and Creature Features Etsy Shop.
CINEMA INSOMNIA and MR. LOBO has been on ABC and other major broadcast affiliates, UPN superstations, Cable Networks, Cable Systems, Satellite Networks, College Stations, Leased Access, Public Access, and almost any kind of TV you can think of–In their crusade to keep Late Night TV Fun FREE. While waiting for new CINEMA INSOMNIA shows to appear on the ROKU “Connected Television” channel ZOM-BEE TV…enjoy this highlight from Cinema Insomnia’s 3 year run on San Francisco Bay Area via KTEH and KCAH.
