Wow.
Much April.
So Fools’.
Very Doge.
An Internet-famous Shiba Inu dog, known for its raised eyebrows and captioned internal monologues, took over the Missouri University of Science and Technology website today (Tuesday, April 1, 2014).
The animal, known online as Doge (pronounced dowj), has gained popularity as an Internet meme in recent months. The Shiba Inu is even popular on Twitter now, as @DogeTheDog.
Sydney, the Schrader family pet, was somewhat impressed with Doge’s antics.
When asked how this Internet meme infiltrated the Missouri S&T website, Chancellor Cheryl B. Schrader deferred to the Schrader family pet, Sydney, who remarked:
“Wow.
“So web.
“Such awesome.”
Editor’s note: We’ve collected several of the online conversation about this takeover in this Storify presentation.

So I thought Maybe Missouri University of Science and Technology was announcing that you could pay for school with Dogecoin… the interent cryptocurrency that uses doge as a mascot.
This is the best thing I have seen! This is why I’m proud to be an alumnus!!!

That is not how you pronounce doge.
Oh look at that, another version of this forced meme from last year.
It isn’t funny, and hasn’t been for some time.
But of course, everyone thinks its the pinnacle of humor.
Oh look at that, another wet blanket.
Congratulations, you took the unique action of telling everyone you don’t like something on the internet. Way to blaze a trail for all the web folk who didn’t know you could anonymously bash something you kind of don’t like. You are an inspiration, and that’s why I posted this comment.
Many WKRP, very Cincinnati, much 1980, so nostalgia.
Right up there with Write Only Memory!
