You may know me as a snarky caption writer whose work went viral | Caption Writing Person
Apparently, I'm a certified Internet comic genius for titles after my celebrity to the Globe has gone viral. I tested
Last week, a photo gallery I put up a website of a Canadian newspaper surprisingly went viral. Called "Celebrity of the Week" is a weekly collection of images of stars from a list of movies and television and their younger siblings from List B standing awkwardly on the red carpet for film premieres, parties and other vanities and in the world. Despite its inherent banality, and because my editors let me relieve my dyspepsia, writing sarcastic titles is regularly one of the most popular destinations in the Globe and Mail. In a good week, which tops out at about 200,000 page views.
Last week, however, the gallery 4.74m page views. I had written a few references to the protest busy Wall Street in Manhattan after being struck by the contrast between the values ??of this nascent movement wicked and display foreign celebrities who watched the images selected for the gallery. References OWS attracted people's attention and started to pass the link around social networks and blogs, until he was healthy enough to mutate and infect him as far away as Australia.
Now, the Globe and Mail is a serious newspaper. Class has correspondents in the United States, Europe, Africa, Russia and Asia, great news and political relations at the national level and is the Canadian leader in financial reporting. While many people who found the gallery on his Twitter stating the obvious: that the content was not unusually severe Globo work of a hacker. Or, conversely, as the Telegraph borne entirely by themselves, which was the work of an editor who had gone rogue and taken a stand against the newspaper coverage or celebrity. These assumptions have been compounded by the fact that I am anonymous and known only as the people reading the Scriptures. Anonymity is only part of the joke, but in its virulent form that causes the plot to break.
- speak for the moment, as web reputation "comic genius", let me tell you this: legend has its own language that is ripe for satire. The legends say the obvious in terms hyper -literal ("the actor George Clooney waves to the crowd from the red carpet arrival at the premiere of The Ides of March ...") and add a location and clumsy ("... day at the Palace Theatre in New York on Friday "). Samuel Beckett might have written a comprehensive book with only the titles of newspaper photos. The tragedy of the picture, it becomes black humor. The words" A Buddhist monk is the prey flames after firing to protest against the policies of their government "are inherently ridiculous in comparison with all the meaning and impact of a photograph. It is the same as writing: "A Buddhist monk who went to the fire, suddenly remembers that he forgot to turn off the oven before leaving home that morning." It would be stupid and false, of course, but less sense.
We will work with another example. When I find a picture of the infamous public masturbator Paul Reubens both hands in the air, I do not write "Paul Reubens, known as Pee-wee Herman, waves to the crowd with both hands at a ceremony on Friday, "I wrote:" Pee-wee Herman, attend a ceremony on Friday, prices, kindly keep your hands all over the world to see.
