Kad je 34-godišnji Todd Herres na Imguru objavio fotografiju svoje djevojke, 38-godišnje Alice Webb, kako je zaspala okružena knjigama, nije ni sanjao koliki će odjek ta fotografija imati na internetu.
Naravno, ono što je korisnike dirnulo je opis fotografije:
‘Moja 38-godišnja djevojka je nedavno krenula na drugu godinu koledža. Sama je podigla dvoje djece, koji danas imaju 10 i 15 godina, sjajan je roditelj i bila je žrtva ne jednog, nego dva slučaja obiteljskog nasilja. Ovako sam je našao večeras. Toliko sam ponosan na ovu ženu da bih mogao eksplodirati. Danas smo kupovali vjenčano prstenje i mislim da sam spreman na najbolju odluku u svom životu.’
Njegova je fotografija postala viralna, ima gotovo milijun i pol pregleda i na Imguru se 'probila' među pet najviralnijih fotografija.
My 38 year old girlfriend just started her second quarter of college. She's raised two kids, 15 and 10, on her own, has piss all parents and was the victim in not one but two domestic violence cases. This is how I found her tonight. I'm so proud of this woman I could burst. We went wedding ring shopping earlier today and I think I'm ready to make the best decision of my life.FP Edit: Wow! I had no idea Imgur could be so amazing despite the forgotten cat tax! Thanks for all the kind words of support you guys! This woman profoundly inspires me and it sounds like she has many of you. Also, I'm gonna take all of y'alls advice and marry the shit out of her. Send me all your love stories.FP Edit 2: some dog tax http://i.imgur.com/fd5p67A.jpgFP Edit 3: CREEP LOVE GOES VIRAL(I'm most proud of the article from Steven Segal's website, WarriorZen.
