While back in high school I may have hated James Van Der Beek in Dawson's Creek for his over sensitivity, and the fact that he actually fancied Katie Holmes as Joey Potter, now, I admit that I have a little soft spot for him. Whether it was his guest appearance as a schizophrenic serial killer on Criminal Minds, or just the passing of time, I've come to the conclusion that the Beek is alright.
But now, after embracing the popularity and sheer awesomeness of the "crying Dawson" animated GIF, I dare say I am a full-fledged Van Der Beek Fan.
James and FunnyorDie.com have joined forced to create JamesVanDerMemes.com, which features plenty of what Van Der Beek says the Internet is "crying out for"...which is, as he puts it, "More intense, emotional close-ups of my face." (AMAZE.)
From "happy" to "mild sadness" to the "lilo eyeroll" (and my personal favorite, the "10 Year Anniversary Crying Edition")- JamesVanDerMemes.com has it all.
It's quite possibly the best thing I've seen in 2011 thus far. (Well, excluding that Josh Groban singing Kanye West's Tweets video...)
