When 90-year-old Zimbabwean President and noted homophobe Robert Mugabe slipped and fell on the red carpet Wednesday in Harare, his handlers immediately demanded photographers delete their shots of the leaders embarrassing tumble.
At least one refused, leading to the widespread publication of the above photo. Before long, memes were popping up all over social media.
Perhaps one of the reasons Photoshoppers so gleefully took to the task of meming Mugabe was his hateful comments about Africas gay community.
In the past, Mugabe has called gay people worse than pigs and dogs, and threatened to have them beheaded.
