"Put the Leaning Tower of Pisa in a backpack", "Pull the church in Spain away in a car", "Take the Easter Island statue away as luggage"... This year, a British million-fan blogger shared a meme on Twitter, mocking The British Museum for stealing artifacts.
Today, the British Museum has finally broken through the defenses. According to the screenshot posted by the blogger on the 23rd, the British Museum Twitter account directly blocked him...
Blogger @NoContextBrits joined Twitter in April 2021 on the island of Great Britain and currently has over 1 million followers. In the account profile, the blogger bluntly said that its content is sarcastic and ironic.
Since this year, the British Museum has become the object of ridicule by the blogger. The British Museum, also known as the British Museum, is located in London, England. Founded in 1753 and officially opened to the public on January 15, 1759, the museum is the oldest and grandest comprehensive museum in the world, and one of the world's largest and most famous museums. There are more than 8 million collections in the museum, and a large number of collections have not been publicly exhibited due to space limitations in the museum.
However, since many of the British Museum's artifacts were looted from other countries during the British colonial era, the ownership and ownership of these artifacts have been controversial. The blogger @NoContextBrits has shared many memes and written passages to present a lot of the theme content of "stealing things from the British Museum". ↓↓↓
"The British Museum is explaining how they got their hands on these artifacts: the secret is crime."
"The whole world is asking: Where did you get these artifacts?"
"The British Museum faces don't change color: we found it."
"No one would do that, but the British Museum did: they put the Leaning Tower of Pisa in a backpack and took it with them."
"The British Museum came back from vacation with an Easter stone statue in the luggage."
"The British Museum has carried another Roman column."
"The British Museum is transporting a church in Spain by car..."
Blogger @NoContextBrits Witty text and funny memes have won the love of many netizens, and the tweet that "loads away the Leaning Tower of Pisa" has more than 540,000 likes. And the blogger's frequent play of the terrier also allowed it to successfully enter the vision of the British Museum. Finally, in recent days, the blogger was on the British Museum's blacklist.
On August 23, blogger @NoContextBrits posted a screenshot of the notice that his account had been blocked by the British Museum on Twitter: "The British Museum has blocked you. You can't follow the British Museum or watch the British Museum's Twitter. To this, the blogger joked: "I remember you." ”
At present, this tweet has been pinned by the blogger and attracted the attention of many netizens - its retweets have exceeded 100,000 times, and the number of likes is close to 800,000 times. For the British Museum's behavior of black bloggers, many netizens have also ridiculed the British Museum in the comment area for not being able to joke.
"It seems that a certain museum really doesn't have a sense of humor, doesn't it?"
"Jokes are the only thing the British Museum won't take."
There are also netizens who see the hilarity and do not think it is too big, follow the pace of bloggers, and continue to ridicule the British Museum's "history of theft".
"Haha, I bet they like that old joke: Why are the pyramids still in Egypt?" Because they were so heavy, the British couldn't take london back. ”
"The Image of Britain in British History VS The Image of Britain in the History of Other Countries ↓"
"Good fellow, this is reality does not hurt people, but the memes that describe reality can hurt people. That being the case, @British Museum, there's something more exciting for you here. ”
It should be mentioned that the blogger @NoContextBrits is not the first blogger to mock the "ethos" of the British Museum with fire. According to the website "Know Your Meme", which uses the wiki system to record and explain various internet memes and hotspots, since 2015, there have been many British emojis on the extranet that steal cultural relics and put them on museum display, and "British Museum Stealing Things" has thus become a meme, specifically to satirize that a large number of cultural relics owned by the British Museum do not belong to the United Kingdom. Rather, it was illegally collected by the country from all over the world during the colonial period.
