And that meme just made me think of another one (which more of you may have seen but now known the origin of) that spread around toward the end of the Egyptian Revolution (is the Revolution over?  Too deep for this post).  It's of a Yemeni protester, and that's all you really need to know.

For the similarly dry explanation see this, but I think it's funny on its own.
