This is a 3-panel iteration of the popular expanding brain meme format. The first panel features a masked man in a court setting with the text 'Man claims to be framed spending 12 years in prison', paired with a graphic of a low-activity brain. The second panel shows a bearded man speaking to camera, captioned 'Man makes several hour documentary on being framed. Gets 0 views', paired with a graphic of a more active, glowing brain. The third panel shows a breaking news shot of a Chase Bank building, with the caption 'BREAKING NEWS 3JUNE26 MAN WITH BOMB TAKES MULTIPLE HOSTAGES IN CALIFORNIA SAYS HE DOES NOT WANT MONEY, ONLY ATTENTION', paired with the fully illuminated, exploding expanding brain graphic.
