“They Told Me I Could Be Anything I Wanted” originated with the “So I Became a God” take on god tier internet classic Clarinet Boy portrait and then evolved into a meme that can now take a random shot at anyone. It’s truly the most utilitarian meme out there. Catcher, short stop, left field, calling Sarah Jessica Parker a horse. You name it, TTMICBAIW can handle it.
And if you’re asking me it has just begun to scratch the surface. Greeting cards, motivational posters, breakup letters, the options are pretty much limitless. Oh man, now I can’t stop thinking about the various ways you could call your ex-girlfriend a whore with it. There are literally thousands. And they’re just flooding into my cerebral cortex. Do me a favor and go ahead and check out all the pop culture variations. I’ve got a Tumblr to start.
