This is a two-panel satirical meme using the widely recognized Flex Tape advertisement template. The first panel features Phil Swift, the spokesperson from Flex Seal product ads, labeled 'INDIAN GOVERNMENT' standing next to a leaking water container marked 'EXAM PAPER LEAK'. The second panel shows a hand applying a piece of Flex Tape over the leak, with the tape labeled 'BAN TELEGRAM'. The humor comes from mocking the perceived reaction of the Indian government to widespread instances of exam papers being leaked and shared on the messaging platform Telegram: instead of addressing the root cause of the exam paper leaks, the government opts for the surface-level, overly broad solution of banning the app.

A two-panel meme utilizing animated screenshots from the TV show 'The Simpsons'. The top panel depicts Homer Simpson standing in his underwear next to Marge Simpson. Overlaid text reads 'Age Verification to protect child safety online' (assigned to Homer) and 'Governments and parents' (assigned to Marge). The bottom panel shows Homer with a shocked expression, hands on his hips, while Marge stands beside him; overlaid text reads 'Identity theft' (assigned to Homer).
