Back on September 27th, 2014 Twitter user ‘Farm Daddy’ tweeted a pic of himself nakedly face-banging a statue of Lincoln, and consequently sent a shockwave through the Internet as in the past few hours BuzzFeed, Gawker, and more have all picked it up as if it was fresh news.
Here’s the picture (with the bare man ass parts blurred out):
Last night Gawker put up a post with the title ‘Which Lincoln Memorial Is This Man Face-Fucking?’ and has since changed it to ‘Is This Man Face-Fucking a Lincoln Memorial?’ after commenters claimed the statue being violated by the cherubesque man is actually a statue of Alexander Graham Bell. They grabbed the pic from BuzzFeed’s Joe Bernstein on Twitter, who appeared to be trying his hardest to BuzzFeed (I’m using that as an adverb) and turn a hashtag into a Twitter-wide meme by getting ‘Lincoling’ to catch on. Only it might not be Lincoln after all, it might be the inventor of the telephone, and the pic is fucking ANCIENT in Internet time.
So here I am, sharing this picture of a hairless cherub face-fucking a statue of Alexander Graham Bell and recounting how one meme-maker’s failed attempt to make a Lincoln meme turned into a viral post on another viral news aggregator…And yes, my goddamn head is about to explode.
As Gawker stated, ‘Farm Daddy‘ has subsequently deleted the picture of him nakedly face-fucking a memorial/statue on Twitter. So the entire story is even shrouded in more of a murky shit cloud than previously thought.
As for getting the #Lincolning meme going, what sort of America wants to start a meme where people get naked and deface our great Nation’s most sacred statues by nakedly face-fucking the memorials of one of our most storied Presidents? Like, how can anyone think that is a good thing to kickstart on Twitter?
I’m all sorts of confuse here bros, but I felt obliged to at least share with you their rabbit hole I found myself climbing down into this morning…
