Not taking the risk meme about returning from an Argentina cruise
Text content
"Hey i just came back from my cruise in Argentina"
Overview
This is a dark humor meme that uses a screenshot from the British crime drama series Peaky Blinders. The scene shows a man standing with his back to the viewer, arms outstretched, as a line of armed men fire weapons ahead of him, with multiple people lying prone or dead on the gravel ground in front of the shooters. Overlaid on the top of the image is text that reads: "Hey i just came back from my cruise in Argentina". The joke implies that cruises to Argentina are associated with such high risk of danger, fatality, or negative outcomes that people would immediately react with extreme violence to anyone claiming to have returned from one, rather than take the risk of interacting with them, playing on public discourse around high-profile dangerous maritime incidents.
