"Bedn is a cadny thief and a h4xx0r.
Bedn staeled my cadny. Now I r sad. :( "
(From urban dictionary)

Does anyone remember Bedn? For many NG users, Bedn jokes were the first meme experienced in the forums and flash animations. This was back in the days when the clock crew was the shiznit, and there were also those lock gentlemen. But seriously, perhaps I was mistaken, but I thought that Bedn would be timeless.
For those of you who don't know about Bedn, the story can be found here.
http://newgrounds.wikia.com/wiki/Josh_Be nd

I have a proposal. I vote we bring Bedn back. It would be a much greater feat than Timberlake returning with "sexy." Here is what I propose: Make sure that in any given photoshop or image thread, or image flame war, Bedn appears.

Bump the Photoshop Bedn thread. http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1501 29/146 It was last done in October.

And, most importantly, I think the groups who create ridiculous crap flash and pass it based on their sheer numbers, incorporate Bedn into your flash.

Alternatively, could someone explain to me why this just got old? I mean, he took my cadny.

Why did the Bedn meme die out?

It hasn't died.

It's just that hardly anyone uses it anymore.

I fail to see the difference. A meme is like a religion or a language. If someone stops practicing or speaking it...

Did he use Airgut to h4ckzor accounts? (Y'know, the program that does Millions of Password combination's a second.)
Then he also hacked by making a site where people would retarded enough to put there Newgrounds passwords to join.

Eh, whatever happened to Bedn these days? He stolen any of the cadny lately?

People stopped using it as much, then the new users couldn't over do it in a futile attempt to be accepted. It is a good thing he is gone.

When he became gay.

When he became addicted to meth.

When he went to jail.

Wait.

I don't think it's dead yet.

Is it dead yet?

IS IT?

Well, it's at "Terri Schiavo" status, but the prognosis is better if the public gets behind it.

I haven't seen any memes been made through Newgrounds (Or even 4Chan and the WoW Forums which is also full of a bunch of /b/astards who just pretend not to know 4Chan.) lately....
Just have to wait for something Natural and funny to happen.

It would have lived on if not for the fact that bedn is now in jail.

You are now breathing manually. You are now aware of your posture. You can now feel your clothes on your body. You now itch in various places.

It was never dead... The break in bedn activity was designed to build up tension for this extraordinary rebound:

Why did the Bedn meme die out?
