Ben Carson broke the first rule of internet politics: never pose with a plain white sign

Ben, Ben, Ben. The first rule of internet is “don’t pose with a white sign.” Rule number one! You know you’re going to get Photoshopped if you do that. Did he listen? He did not.

In response to the Umpqua Community College shooting, Carson tweeted this image, which his campaign confirms is in response to the reports that the gunman was targeting Christians and other religious persons.

Needless to say, Weird Internet is having fun with this one.

It wouldn’t be a Photoshop bakeoff without the meme of the year making an appearance.

Some are better than others.

Since it’s the internet, there’s a Minion appearance.

Really hope the Photoshop Trolls go wild with this one over the weekend. Everyone could probably use a laugh.
