Can someone who is a little younger who understands Computer Instant Graemlins give me a definition, of what is the exact meaning of this Graemlin?



Most of them are self explanatory, but this one isn't! I assume it is a thinly vailed insult of some sort, judging by the places where I have seen it used!

Mac,
Isn't that the old Kool-Aid cartoon caricature?

I was told that it means that the internet poster has been very gullible in believing something that has been posted and "drank the Kool Aid". This is a reference to the 70's(?) mass suicide of 900+ American religious cult members that drank poisoned Kool Aid on the request of their leader.

Though it is meant in a humorous way these days it is a crude expression based upon the tragic death of the children in drinking the kool-aid.
