Description

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
Classic Meme Button
This listing is for a 1.25" button with the timeless quote 'All Your Base Are Belong To us' in an appropriate bitmap-style font.
"All your base are belong to us" is a popular Internet meme based on a broken English ("Engrish") phrase found in the opening cutscene of the 1992 Mega Drive port of the 1989 arcade video game Zero Wing. The quote comes from the European release of the game, featuring poor English translations of the original Japanese version. The translation was "All your base are belong to us," whereas a more accurate translation would be "With the cooperation of Federation Forces, CATS have taken over all of your bases."
The meme developed from this as the result of a GIF animation depicting the opening text. The band Laziest Men on Mars, made a techno dance track, "Invasion of the Gabber Robots", which remixed some of the Zero Wing video game music by Tatsuya Uemura with a voice-over phrase "All your base are belong to us". Next year, a video combined the song and various images created in a Something Awful All Your Base photoshop thread, and that video proceeded to go viral.
On April 1, 2003, in Sturgis, Michigan, people placed signs all over town that read: "All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive make your time." They claimed to be playing an April Fool's joke, but most people who saw the signs were unfamiliar with the phrase. Many residents were upset that the signs appeared while the U.S. was at war with Iraq and police chief Eugene Alli said the signs could be "a borderline terrorist threat, depending on what someone interprets it to mean".
Wear this button while cleaning your joystick, while memorizing kanji, or while carrying a robot up some stairs.
