			A '''colorbar''' is a pseudo-[[meme]] which originated as Marriage is love by {{lj\|shared_boxers}}. Generally composed of a table with [[HTML]] color codes or an image-based strip of pictures manipulated in [[photoshop]] to be colored as a rainbow, a colorbar is generally subtitled with the expression "X is love," wherein "X" denotes whatever vile perversion the colorbar is about.

			Very soon after the first colorbar ("marriage is love"), a second colorbar came out, titled "marriage is between a man and a woman". This second colorbar received much negative [[attention]] but was nowhere near as popular as the first one, because most Americans are idiotic, [[Bible]]-thumping [[redneck]]s who disagree with all-around equality, but have been brainwashed by a media campaign designed to portray [[sodomy]] as a natural expression of love.

			Since then, colorbars have joined the ranks of other types of meme art such as the [[image macro]] in becoming increasingly complex and often finely crafted, and being used for the purposes of [[troll]]ing or making amusing or ironic points. Some of the best image-based colorbars are presented here.

			'''"Marriage is Love"''' was the [[OP\|very]] first [[colorbar]] [[meme]], intended to promote [[gay]] marriage, it quickly became a [http://www.livejournal.com/users/shared_boxers/578528.html trainwreck] of drama when anti-gay [[LJers]] came to act superior to gays.

This has led to hundreds of derivative memes supporting everything from Christian beliefs to shitty [[fanfic]]. It also helped to inspire [[moroveus]]' [[leeching\|image leeching]] prank.

	~~==Best Examples==~~		There are three things that contributed the epidemic spread of this [[meme]]:
			# It took a hot-button issue ([[gay marriage]]) and skull-fucked it.
			# The "image" was implemented in pure [[html]]. Anyone could post it without having an image host or pulling bandwidth from the creator.
			# The [http://www.livejournal.com/users/shared_boxers/578528.html post] that started it provides easily copy-and-pastable mark-up.

The [[meme]] eventually came to an ironic full-circle finish when [[crazayjillay]], a [[Teenmommies\| whore of unrivaled stupidity]], used the colorbar to create a petition to ban [[dead_babies]]—a [[LiveJournal]] humor community which is [[irony\|oh-so-coincidentally]] moderated by none other than {{lj\|shared_boxers}}.

			It should have a rainbow motif or at least be various shades of colors. If images are used they should relate to whatever the bar is about and each color should have a unique and different image to help the bar stand out. Be aware that there is a high chance of [[leeching]] if images are used as bastards are too lazy to upload that shit to photobucket or whatever.

A '''colorbar''' is a pseudo-[[meme]] which originated as [[Marriage is love]] by {{lj|shared_boxers}}. Generally composed of a table with [[HTML]] color codes or an image-based strip of pictures manipulated in [[photoshop]] to be colored as a rainbow, a colorbar is generally subtitled with the expression "X is love," wherein "X" denotes whatever vile perversion the colorbar is about.

==Best Examples==

Very soon after the first colorbar ("marriage is about love"), a second colorbar came out, titled "marriage is between a man and a woman". This second colorbar received much negative [[attention]] but was nowhere near as popular as the first one, because most Americans are idiotic, [[Bible]]-thumping [[redneck]]s who disagree with all-around equality, but have been brainwashed by a media campaign designed to portray [[sodomy]] as a natural expression of love.

Since then, colorbars have joined the ranks of other types of meme art such as the [[image macro]] in becoming increasingly complex and often finely crafted, and being used for the purposes of [[troll]]ing or making amusing or ironic points. Some of the best image-based colorbars are presented here.
