'''[[yourethemannowdog.com|You're the man now dog]]''' was founded in 2001 after visionary [[Max Goldberg]] saw a commercial for the 2000 film, ''[[Finding Forrester]]''. Seeing that he had something going with the format, he created '''YTMND''', a site where anybody can fill out a form and create something similar. Since then, over 200,000 '''YTMNDs''', websites composed of an image/animation, text, and/or a sound, have been made.
