[edit] Introduction

I've removed most of the description from the introduction. It seems to me this is unnecessary. The primary reason this is noteable is because it's a successful meme. The background/story is relevant but doesn't IMHO need to be in the introduction since it's not ultra important when it comes to understanding the subject of an article which is a meme, not a pick-up-line. It especially shouldn't be the first thing that is described. Also see my comments here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/You're with me, leather Nil Einne (talk) 11:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

It may be helpful to compare to All your base are belong to us which has some similarities. I've modeled the intro here similarly since I feel it works well. First we describe what it is (it's a popular phrase and internet phenomenon), then we describe where it came from (from Deadspin who made it popular) then we describe where Deadspin claim it originated from.

[edit] LA Times

Unfortunately the LA Times link is now dead since they want you to pay for their archives. It may be better if this is sourced directly the the paper (if this appeared in the print paper). Could someone clarify from the source that it was indeed a respected journalist who was the one doing the flirting? The story on Deadspin is submitted by a friend of the claimed other person Nil Einne (talk) 11:58, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
