Woman Prays to Shrek Statue Thinking It's Buddha
Text content
A WOMAN IN THE PHILIPPINES SPENT FOUR YEARS PRAYING TO WHAT SHE BELIEVED WAS A BUDDHA STATUE, UNTIL A FRIEND POINTED OUT THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY SHREK.
Overview
The image is a humorous meme featuring a green figurine of Shrek from the 'Shrek' animated franchise, sculpted in the style of a Buddha statue. The statue has Shrek's characteristic green skin, large belly, and smiling face, posed with hands in a gesturing manner reminiscent of traditional Buddha statues. Above the image is the text 'Roses are red, actually, what the feck:', and below the statue is a caption explaining a fictional scenario where a woman in the Philippines prayed to the statue for four years, mistaking it for Buddha until a friend identified it as Shrek. A small 'RAPID' watermark is present at the bottom center.
Origin notes
This meme is likely a user-created content piece combining pop culture (Shrek) with religious imagery (Buddha statue) to create a humorous misunderstanding scenario. The 'RAPID' watermark suggests possible association with a content platform or creator. It probably circulated on social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, or Instagram, typical for such absurd and relatable humor memes. The image appears to be edited with text overlay on a photograph of a custom Shrek figurine.
