Kid ignores Stonehenge to play handheld game

This photograph captures a young boy squatting on a grassy field at the Stonehenge historic monument site in the United Kingdom, just behind a visitor rope barrier. The iconic prehistoric stone arrangement of Stonehenge is clearly visible in the background under a clear blue sky, with other small groups of tourists visible near the stones. The boy is fully focused on playing a silver Nintendo DS handheld video game, staring down intently at the device and completely ignoring the world-famous landmark directly behind him. The core comedic effect of the image stems from the stark contrast between the globally significant ancient tourist attraction and the child's far greater interest in his portable game.

This is a widely circulated viral candid meme photo that first gained popularity online in the mid-late 2000s, shortly after the Nintendo DS was released.
