Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Preved (Russian: Преве д) is a meme in the Russian-speaking Internet which developed out of a heavily-circulated picture, and consists of choosing alternative spellings for words for comic effect. The picture, a modified version of John Lurie's watercolor Bear Surprise, whose popularity was stoked by emails and blogs, features a man and a woman having sex in the clearing of a forest, being surprised by a bear calling "Surprise!" with its paws raised. In later Russian adaptations, the bear shouts "Preved!" (a deliberate misspelling of privet, приве т – "hi!"). In keeping with a popular trend of image manipulation, the iconic bear (dubbed Medved (a misspelling of медведь – bear)) has been inserted into many other pictures where his appearance adds a new dimension to the joke. The word and the bear image have found their way into the mainstream mass media, such as a poster for the Russian edition of Newsweek.
