We New Zealanders love the internet, and we have a pretty good sense of humour, too. We've created loads of memes (or been the subject of them) over the past couple of years, and PC World has gathered a few of the better ones for your perusal. Feel like one's missing? Let us know in the comments.

When I logged onto my home computer at 7:30am this morning and came across this, erm, gem, I wanted to crawl back into bed and never leave again.

We're sure you've heard of the Gregory Brothers - aka Auto-tune the News - by now. If not, they're a group of musicians who "songify" viral internet videos, and have gone viral in their own right. They now tour and make money off of their silly videos they post on YouTube - pretty cool job, if you ask me.

The group's latest effort is a parody of a (probably fake) video blog a woman posted on OKCupid.com, expressing her insane amount of love for cats. You can check out the song (and the original video) after the jump.

Whenever I look at mainstream news websites for tech news, I can't help but have a little chuckle. When did Digg founder Kevin Rose become just a "blogger"? And when did Vint Cerf, who created IPv4, become just a "Google chief"? Surely we can do better than that.

I won't even get into the fact that the switch to IPv6 is being referred to as "internet armageddon".

What funny things do you guys notice tech reporters doing which is a bit silly, or just plain incorrect?

Microsoft has released a great ad on the future of technology. Given Microsoft's history of terrible ads - which Cracked.com chronicled a couple of months ago - we're impressed.

Hell Pizza has launched an awesome (their words) viral ad campaign featuring undead, bloodsucking zombies. And it's interactive. Make the wrong decision and you're toast (or maybe on toast with a nice Chianti).
