An Internet meme that started over statements made at the B.C. Supreme Court hearing into an injunction application by Kinder Morgan against Burnaby Mountain pipeline protesters has taken off on social media.

Protesters and supporters are taking to Twitter and Facebook after Kinder Morgan lawyer Bill Kaplan, referring to photos in court exhibits, said the malicious expression on protesters' faces combined with their "snarls" could constitute a form of assault.

The comments launched an Internet campaign that invited protesters and supporters to show their #KMface.

Even Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson got in on the action, tweeting "My #KMface for the record.

@ryvinx tweeted "this is my #kmface."

The Rain Forest Action Network tweeted "Kinder Morgan claims pipeline protestors' angry expressions = "assault! What's your #KMface?"

@dogwoodbc, a group opposing pipeline expansion, re-tweeted this photo.

Here are some others:
