Original YTMND:
Chocolate New Orleans  
Worthy spinoffs:

The Chocolate New Orleans fad spawned from New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin's absurd speech which took place on January 16, 2006 where he dispensed several comments about rebuilding New Orleans into a "Chocolate New Orleans", alluding to New Orlean's large black population. This was seized upon and parodied by many commentators, cartoons, and even novelty merchandise. Widespread satirical depictions of Nagin as Willy Wonka appeared in print and on the internet, and YTMND was no exception. Most sites utilizing the Chocolate New Orlean fad feature the tell-tale soundbyte of Nagin as well as a scene where buildings are altered to look brown in order to create the illusion they are made of chocolate.
