Internet memes, now starring you

Remember shouting in glee over presents? Video game retailer GameStop does, and is helping you remember with its new holiday promotion. The Flash applet uses a popular Internet meme — Nintendo 64 freakout kid (seen here), a family video of a young child overjoyed over getting a Nintendo 64 video game system for Christmas — and allows a user to submit their own mug to map onto the face of the boy. The results, as seen above, work surprisingly well. After a video is viewed the user is given the option to save and e-mail the entry or post it to social media Web sites. The applet is powered by Oddcast, a viral marketing company. Freak out like the Nintendo 64 kid by following the link below.
