“From his bedroom, Ignacio sparked an international
controversy. His images crisscrossed the world, sometimes on the backs of
commercial media, sometimes via grassroots media. And, in the end, he inspired
his own cult following.” Page 2
I thought this quote was significant because it depicts how
much of a reality one person’s hobby became. Dino Ignacio had an idea to post
the image of Bert from Sesame Street
with terrorist as a joke claiming that Bert was a part of that terrorist’s
attack. His image became popular and were used in protest.
What is most interesting to me is that this became popular
and it started from some teenagers bedroom as a joke.
