The "Byrd"/"Barbaric" fad is based on a speech by Senator Robert Byrd on dog fighting, given in Congress after NFL star Michael Vick was indicted as part of a dogfighting operation. During Byrd's speech, he repeated the word "barbaric", to describe the act of "training these poor creatures to turn themselves into fighting machines." The fad started with a site created by Lemonei, which had a picture of Senator Byrd, audio from a section of his speech, and the text: "let that word resound."
