For the last time, Medusa, turn off your camera!
Overview
This humorous meme shows a standard Zoom meeting grid view. 7 of the 8 participant camera feeds display different ancient stone sculptures, labeled with common Western first names. The 8th participant is named Medusa, whose active camera feed shows her with her signature snake hair and glowing eyes, referencing the Greek myth that anyone who looks directly at Medusa is turned to stone. The joke implies all other meeting attendees were petrified after viewing Medusa's active camera, playing on common remote work meeting norms where attendees are often asked to turn off their cameras when not required.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from an RSS feed of the Reddit r/Meme subreddit. It is an original composite edited work that combines the standard Zoom video conferencing user interface, public domain stock images of historical stone sculptures, and art of the mythological figure Medusa to create a joke that juxtaposes ancient Greek mythology with modern remote work culture.
