Image macro
A picture with "witty" (read: retarded) text added via Photoshop or other image editors. They often use text from existing memes, and in some cases cause the creation of new ones. Image macros became so prevalent that they are now banned from all boards except /b/. While the ban was initially enforced rather strictly, it eventually fell by the wayside and now macros are posted almost with impunity throughout 4chan. Even if the macro isn't even related to the subject of the board. Image macros are typically used in the stead of originality, and are thus commonplace in boards like /b/. The use of an image macro, as previously stated, was a major infraction after the crackdown, and actual enforcement of the rules. Remember, the internet is serious buisness.
