Jack Black is a comic genius. There's no denying it. Everyone loves him. He's charming, self-deprecating and just seems like he is so much fun. But recently he posted a new, hilarious video, and he didn't even realise what he had created.
Although Jack Black might not have known what he created, you can be sure that the internet spotted it instantly. Wait until you see how it happened. It's hilariously accurate.
Antonio Guillem had taken the photo back in 2015 and didn’t think anything of it. But then the internet found the stock image in 2017 and it went viral.
Rather than being known as ‘man looks at other woman,’ as it was originally called, it became known as ‘distracted boyfriend.’
It's pretty sexist.
The original picture is obviously sexist and degrading. It depicts a man objectifying a woman, while he walks with a different woman. It basically encapsulates all kinds of wrong.
But the internet fought back and recreated it the opposite way round.
Although was it originally the distracted girlfriend?
In 1950 this image was published in a magazine for US Marines.
It is uncanny how similar it is to the modern meme. This lady certainly seemed to like what she saw.
It's not the only version to come back from the past.
This meme comes from Back to the Future Part II, which was filmed way back in 1989.
Maybe Marty McFly actually came back to our future and planted the original meme. Or maybe it’s just a coincidence.
Or has it just been around forever?
One person on Twitter realised that the ‘distracted boyfriend’ isn’t necessarily a modern idea.
In fact they found a version of it in this old painting. It’s pretty uncanny, and very disappointing. Hopefully it won’t still be like this in another couple of hundred years.
It turns out the distracted boyfriend was distracted more than once.
This guy seems to struggle not to objectify women. And it does make you question why the girl would stay with him.
Maybe she understands that it is just that this man happens to be surrounded by beautiful women. He can’t help it that he’s been conditioned by society to think it’s his right to openly lust after women.
Is he a 'player,' or just a terrible human being?
This guy really seems like a jack-ass. But although most people laughing at these images, some people think it is ‘classic lad’ behaviour.
The problem is that these photos normalise sexism, when it should be abhorred.
In fact the meme is part of a whole series.
After the success of the first image, the models and photographer decided to shoot a whole series of distracted photos. Apparently they found it difficult to keep a straight face because they were all having such a laugh.
But it’s not just a series of photos. The ‘distracted boyfriend’ has inspired a series of memes that have taken over the world.
It started off mild.
Some people acknowledged that they found the original meme quite hard to relate to.
It turns out, that it’s more apt for when they see a dog instead. We all know someone like this.
Some people decided to keep it sexist.
Some men like to have fun together drinking beer, others might prefer wine, or a life without alcohol. But they are all still men. Some women enjoy drinking beer, and that doesn’t make them manly. That just makes them women that like drinking beer.
This meme just perpetuates gender stereotypes that make it difficult to see everyone as equal regardless of gender.
People can be very perceptive on the internet.
Phil Collins was a drummer and singer in the rock band Genesis back in the ’80s, before becoming a solo artist. You probably know loads of his songs, like ‘In The Air Tonight.’
But gradually he has taken a route into pop music that has made him widely disliked, a bit like the guy in this picture.
We all know someone like this.

Much has been said about the latest in the healthcare sector. Politicians' continue to bicker and have no solid plan to replace the current plan. Certain Analysts believe if this Trump Administration plan passes the Senate their proposal will leave over 23 million people without coverage by the year 2026. The Affordable Care Act law is and was simply put in place to help the American people who were once unable to get any type of coverage, finally get the care he or she may need. Secondly, it has also helped more than enough individuals with pre-existing conditions get coverage as well. And thirdly there is the concern of affordability; this is for people who do not have enough money to pay for insurance on their own, the current law provides financial assistance for those eligible to receive money from the government.
The problem with today's guidelines are the plans are based on: age, geographic location, the ability to pay, the rising cost of medical technology and taxes. Notice there is nothing mentioned about your overall health conditions. Until the underwriting process is brought back into the equation, then insurers' will never be able to accurately measure their risk and set premium prices at affordable rates. The message to insurers' is the fact that no one should be denied health insurance due to their finances or health related conditions to help protect against their financial losses when and if they occurred.
During this era a majority of insurance companies especially those that specialize in the health sector jumped on the band wagon with lower premiums knowing financial assistance would be there to help pay for coverage. Plans were and are designed to basically take the American peoples' money first before paying any claims. Once the claims began to come from more than enough people, then insurers' realized their premiums were set too low and began experiencing financial losses. There is no coincidence today why as consumers we hear about large health carriers pulling out of the marketplace and are no longer willing to participate this coming 2018 season under the ACA format.
The solution for consumers, we have to educate ourselves and grasp a good understanding and not listen to all the rhetoric in the media. We need a suite of insurance products to benefit us in the event there are some types of loss. Whether its a loss of life, the inability to work for certain period of time, or failing health our money needs to be protected at reasonable rates. Do this now while you are still healthy with the right kind of life and health insurance plans; underwriting is the key.
There are more than enough life and health insurance companies who offer benefits to protect your money. They never moved into this whole affordable care dilemma. Insurance today is still being sold on the premise of an individual's risk factors. These type of plans whether they are: accident, cancer, critical illness, dread disease, hospitalization, preventive care and wellness, also known as MEC (minimum essential coverage) or life insurance policies are and will always be available.
The Affordable Care Act is a good law that needs to be revised and not replaced. In today's environment of government uncertainty, why listen to such chaos? "People perish because of a lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6a. Now that you have been given this knowledge, perish not; be encouraged and do the right thing for your family and your finances.
