Nebula Awards: Meme Status Achieved
The Nebula Awards shortlist has reached meme status with a satirical "YouTube Poop" remixing Nebula and Quasar with Crazy Frog [Media Briefing].
The YouTube Poop video, which splices together the words "Nebula" and "Quasar" with the Crazy Frog song, highlights the perceived absurdity and sometimes confusing nature of science fiction award nominations. The original video uploader, whose identity remains unknown, may have intended to critique the selection process or simply create a humorous take on the awards. The Nebulas, unlike some awards, are chosen by science fiction and fantasy writers themselves, adding a layer of irony to the parody.
