Memes work best when they describe something everyone is thinking or at least wish they thought. A simple photo and a handful of words can go far in the digital age. All it takes is one viral picture infiltrating into pop culture. For heaven’s sake, part of the Drake vs. Meek Mill battle was won through memes. Every week, the crafty imaginations of social media manage to create something displaying wit, wisdom, crass ideas and more. Some will make you laugh, feel disgusted and probably confused. Weekly, we’ll be weeding out the best memes through “All Eyez On Memes.”
This week, United States swimmer and K.Michelle’s ex Ryan Lochte lied by saying him and several others were robbed at gunpoint at a gas station in Rio. Embarrassing a nation, social media had a field day in the best way possible.
