Here is a picture of a dog with ham on its face. There is no debating this fact. Picture = dog + face + ham. The image was shared to Facebook last week by a guy named Stephen Roseman, who — clearly wanting to gauge the stupidity of the internet — wrote that the dog had been “badly burned and disfigured trying to save his family from a house fire,” suggesting that people offer their prayers in “like” and share form, with the equivalent: “One like = one prayer; One share = ten prayers.”
And because a fool and their internet dignity are soon parted, people shared it. They shared the hell out of it. At the time of this writing, the photo has amassed more than 55,000 likes and 110,000 shares. At this point, people are probably, in all likelihood, sharing it because it’s clearly a picture of a dog with ham on its face and seeing which of their friends and family are dumb enough to fall for the ruse. But there are still a lot of people taking it seriously, if some of the comments and shares are any indication.
