Angelina Jolie’s visit to Greece went viral throughout the world with images of her being mobbed by refugees and media circulating on most of the mainstream media today. She visited a refugee center at the port of Pireaus and also spent time with Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras.
Enter the internet… specifically, the internet jokesters and pranksters who trolled the photos appearing of the meeting at Greece’s prime ministerial mansion.
Some memes poked fun at Tsipras’ youth, while others his English language skills. Others went straight for the jugular. Here are six memes that have gone viral on the Greek internet.
Nice to meet you... Madam Laura Croft
Kids and their video games
Tsipras' wife is named Peristera... aka Pigeonette
Clearly a reference to the Third World conditions plaguing Greece's refugee crisis
No caption necessary!
A play on Greek words... hypocrite comes from the ancient Greek word for actor. "It's an honor to meet a living legend of 'hypokritiki" (theater)." Thank you Ms. Jolie.
