Summary:	An '''image macro''' is a photo or picture with a somewhat witty phrase superimposed over it, most commonly in white 48pt Impact with a black five pixel stroke. Often used in flame wars and a fundamental feature of gif wars, they convey a humorous message of disdain towards the original poster or the entire thread. All you need for a good macro is a hilarious picture with a hilarious caption. Both are needed for the perfect macro. However, if the caption is unfunny, the image automatically becomes fail. If you are lazy, you can have a website do the work for you.
Origins:	The phrase originated in the [[Something Awful forums]] to describe images often used on USENET before the popularization of forums on the internet.
Date (MM/YYYY):
Current status:	If overused, their impact can be diminished, leading to a lack of [[lulz]]. Most image macros suffer overuse within hours of their debut, quickly turning into [[old meme]]s. 99% of the internet is oblivious to this and will continue using them well past their expiration dates. [[Advice animals]] are slowly taking over traditional image macros in commonality.
