About
The Great Wall of China Guy is a nickname given to an Asian man who accidentally photobombed a Redditor’s photograph of the famous fortification. Upon its submission to Reddit, the image inspired several dozens of photoshopped parodies overnight.Origin
On November 11th, 2013, Redditor Hipsterthug submitted a photograph he took of the Badaling section of the Great Wall with an Asian tourist partially blocking the foreground to the /r/funny subreddit in a post titled “I tried to take a picture of the Great Wall.” The photograph was quickly declared the next “In the Way Guy” and met by several photoshopped instances in the comments. The post garnered more than 29,000 up votes and 979 comments in less than 24 hours
First.....I need to address the pure awesome of the main pic. The X on the jetpack and death star just make is so full of win. I think we really need some of these targets. JT and I printed out a bunch of zombie targets that we made. OnTarget made us take them down because they were "people" and we couldn't shoot pictures of "people". We planned to return with pictures of famous vehicles. Air Force One, the Popemobile, Mail Trucks, Gas Tankers, etc. But decided we didn't want to be banned......or arrested.
ReplyDeleteThe meme is great. Microscope got me. I have to appreciate the talent in the glass of water one though. That's some serious chopping.
