To meme or not to meme?


When I think about the media I think relinquish the system, stop with this standardizing of genders and stop this stereotyping of minority groups for their skin tone and gender, but I think this kid went too far when he sued them for making fun of his haircut. This story gain praise and is an article(www.bbc.com) about this one kid who sued media for making fun of his hair cut, not verbally but visually by the memes. This kid named Ziggy from Australia sue when a picture of him on his 18th birthday became widespread and he was now on the internet among the memes. Now, it wasn’t to make fun of himself at first with the picture, but the media praise with the use of the picture by manipulating it and using iconic meme for other enjoyment. Ziggy didn’t take kindly to this and tried to sue them for these wretched images displaying his ridiculous haircut. A few of these dreadful displays at the defensive, and delirious delinquent disapproval are a horse, coin, skunk hair, mop, bill and many others.
Now, the question that remain do I think these actions at rational or irrational. Well, I think the media shouldn’t be held responsible for the case. The media should be along the lowest to be held responsible by the creators of this meme, and the consumer that poked fun. He should really blame either the photographer that took the picture, the barber who made the hair cut or himself for not only approving the haircut, but allowing it to head to the internet, well knowing what those on the internet are capable of. The media only increase the popularity with memes. He was the root source to allow something like this to happen to himself. People do make fun of him for the haircut, but if it makes it so uncomfortable, then he should just change the hairstyle or wear a hat.

  1. Hello :D I agree with you on the whole equality thing and that he shouldn't sue the media since it is not their fault that the people who created those memes spread it all over the internet. They do not have any control over what is posted unless it is violating the code of conduct or reported. Since these memes are jokes, they are not violating the code of conduct and therefore do not need to be taken down. A lot of memes have become popular, and everyone just laughs it off. And it is not like this meme is going to live on forever, right? So there should be no reason to sue the media for something they cannot control.
