Who is Sad Keanu? The guy was just eating a sandwich!

June 11, 2010 by Aaron Friedman Leave a Comment

I love hearing about a meme for the first time. The underlying rule here, celebrities cant do anything without the fear of becoming a meme. Although, most of the time they deserve it (see: Kanye West), sometimes they dont.

Exhibit 1: Here we have Keanu Reeves, sitting, enjoying a sandwhich, alone. Probably snapped by the papparazi or some fan. I dont know the exact details and I dont know if anyone does (maybe I will try to find out), but the point is, hes minding his own damn business.

And then, the internet gets their hand on it. Below is the outcome. No wonder he is so sad!

Thats when this

Becomes

or

Poor sad Keanu!

And of course there is a site dedicated to this: sadkeanu.com

I think I will make this into a weekly post. “Celebrities gone Meme”, “How the eff did I become a Meme?!?!?”, “Damn, I got Meme’ed”…

Any ideas?
