Qualche giorno fa è stata annunciata la copertina per il prossimo numero del famosissimo magazine americano Time, che ha deciso questa volta di dedicare un approfondimento alla realtà virtuale e di mettere il giovane creatore di Oculus Rift Palmer Luckey sulla cover. La scelta dell’immagine è senza dubbio curiosa e così è subito partita una vera ondata di meme, che lo stesso Time ha raccolto e pubblicato sul suo sito!
Fra le immagini se ne trovano di davvero esilaranti, e un po’ come successe in passato per Keanu Reeves in versione triste sulla panchina e per una caduta di Scarlett Johansson, Palmer con il suo visore addosso è stato posizionato in tanti contesti diversi e non poco divertenti. Ecco un bel gruppo di meme pubblicati sulla Rete, ma prima ovviamente trovate l’immagine originale. A volte Internet è un posto bellissimo.
