Everyone Needs to Calm Down, Let Ken Bone Carry On

It’s been less than a week and 34-year-old undecided voter and presidential debate audience member Kenneth Bone has already gone from “America’s sweetheart” to the symbol of everything wrong with today’s American voter.  For a meme to rise and fall this fast, this hard, is unusual, and absolutely symptomatic of how awful this election cycle has been, but should any media outlet and/or business still feel the need to capitalize on the already-peaked online phenomenon that is Ken Bone, let me remind everyone that memetic events like Ken Bone happen every single election cycle. Oh, and more importantly? Ken Bone is an actual human being. So please treat him as such (and stop the harassment).
