While I’m blogging, quantity instead of quality, I will toot my own horn in the vapid vortex of internet memes and their usually unattributable nature. One day this image went all over the internet blogs like Andrew Sullivan, for example… (he’s gay and used to be republican, but then liked Obama?! Crazy! I think he made a living off of those facts, and writing some good stuff for the Atlantic. I dunno, he’s super indie or something.) Anywayz, he was just one in a line of non-attribution regarding this image…

I, being about a day ahead of internet memes (slower than boingboing/pitchfork/videogum editors, but faster than let’s say… CNN) had already seen this image on some wild clicking spree that I like to call my ‘me’ time in between compiling stuff and removing hair from my head in my research. So yeah, I had seen this image and new it was like a real image, not some 10 minute photoshop done in Aviary or whatever… so I went about finding it again. Unfortunately the history function of web browsers doesn’t work that well when you have like 3 computers with 2-3 browsers installed on each… but I did find it, and alerted the original guy.

Then as you can see in the comments, the original blogger of the pic (who didn’t attribute it) thinks for a sec that I made the pic… it’s as if that blogger is physically incapable of even attributing things properly. Kind of like Mitt Romney saying recently that Bush was responsible for getting us out of our recession. You know what… we, the people, are responsible for that… imho.

More gory, vaporous details in the comments on the flickr page.

You can buy this and some other even way cooler prints from the artist up on etsy.
