BuzzFeed Ecuador President T-Shirt Story – Usage Comparison Record

Screenshot of BuzzFeed’s 10 April 2015 article by Alan White and Agustina Caferi, “The President Of Ecuador Posed With A Kid In An ‘I’m With Stupid’ T-Shirt And Became A Giant Meme,” used in the book as the second comparison example from Alan White’s recent output before the CEN exposé. The entry records the overlap between BuzzFeed’s viral version and an earlier CEN-sourced version published elsewhere, forming part of the argument that BuzzFeed’s criticism of CEN sat alongside its own reliance on the same kind of viral, agency-originated material without recognising or crediting its source.
