ISIS feeling the heat in the war of Dank Memes.

Her name is ISIS-chan. And she's how nerds around the world are trying to silence violent ISIS terrorist propaganda.
It starts with the vibrant worldwide community that loves Japanese anime. Some of them have created a cute animated character as a sort of ISIS mascot.

The goal? Hijack the terrorist group's message and replace it with a girl that's oh-so-adorable.
Right now, if you search online for the term "ISIS," you'll be pelted with images of intimidating thugs murdering innocent people and waving AK-47s and black flags.

Anti-ISIS activists want to reverse that, so that when you search for "ISIS," you get this cute girl instead. To achieve that, activists have put out an open call to everyone around the world who can doodle.

It's essentially a "Google bomb," a war of attrition where images are ammunition and "search engine optimization" is the rule of engagement.
"The World Wide Web is our battlefield," the group told CNNMoney on Thursday. "We want to change the meaning of the term 'ISIS'."
ISIS-chan wears the terrorist group's black clothing. She has green eyes and dark hair. She's 19. And if she's holding a knife, it's only because she loves to slice and eat delicious melons.
