Jokes just die, and like so many before it the fad of 'bedn' just passed on, never to be renewed.

Because he stopped being funny and the Photoshop thread was HEAVILY exhausted.

It got old because people realized it's not so funny to constantly fuel the antics of a drug Dependant trainwreck.

The one thing worse than creating a meme that becomes incredibly overused is watching the person who IS the meme crash and burn.

NG: Where Are They Now?

Electric-Bla is so sexy!

beDn stole muh Cadnt now i sad. :(

The Bedn joke existed before 4chan and the phrase meme did.

...
Shouldn't we be amusing ourselves with the fact that BeDn, in prison, is most likely someone's bitch, and is rightly taking it right now?

Dawkins coined the word "meme" as a neologism in his book The Selfish Gene (1976) to describe how one might extend evolutionary principles to explain the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. He gave as examples melodies, catch-phrases, and beliefs (notably religious belief), clothing/fashion, and the technology of building arches.

Because it's dumb

He still posts on the BBS here and there.

I thought the meme never was funny, though.

If you can't remember Bedn, you are retarded.

He's in jail AGAIN.... seriously.

Weehee.

My guess is people just got bored of it. After awhile, they found it to be cliched. Frankly, I couldn't care less if it comes back.
