We're being astroturfed here on Hacker News by news outlets re-posting about how they know about a meme.

A fucking website exists already: http://hashtagthedress.com/

Is this a joke, or are we just accepting this as a culture?

Aaronbrethorst has an account that is several thousand days older than yours, with 30k karma and an average over 3.

That's not an astrotrurfing accout.

You might be fed up with submissions about this fucking dress (I am) but the answer is to visit /newest and upvote better submissions, and submit other good content.

Fair enough, I completely retract the astroturfing statement.

I am sick of the dress, however. It's a snake eating itself - the media feeds on itself and grows louder and louder about the same thing.
