Meow (Usenet)
Meow
is a self-sustaining
flamewar
-like phenomenon which increased the
signal-to-noise ratio
of the
newsgroup
alt.college.
college-bowl
in
1996
; it persists today. The ongoing event was inadvertently begun by
Harvard University
students through a series of newsgroup invasions and
cross-postings
across various newsgroups, including:
alt.tv.
beavis-n-butthead
alt.fan.
karl-malden
.
nose
alt.music.
white-power
alt.college.college-bowl
The phenomenon takes its name from the adoption by several of the posters of the persona of
Henrietta Pussycat
from
Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood
. One post read, in full, "Meow meow
Matt Bruce
meow meow Henrietta Pussycat meow meow
Presidents of the United States of America
meow Kitty?" For reasons still unclear, Matt Bruce was given the
epithet
"Commandante Meow-Meow".
