Internet lusts after new mugshot guy By Sarah LeTrent (Miles Sullivan APUSH 5th)

About a year ago, a mugshot was taken of a Jeremy Meeks, who has been known to commit many a crime. What was odd about Jeremy's mugshot though, is that many people found him incredibly attractive and his mugshot went viral.
Now there is a new sheriff in town when the Mugshot of Sean Kory, another overly handsome criminal being complimented for his appearance. although Sean's Crimes were not as bad as Jeremy's, he is still a criminal. The internet may love them, but the court does not. Internet culture is constantly evolving and it will bandwagon around the strangest things, from pictures of random people to overused memes from 2002. Which definitely makes it an interesting place.

  1. I remember when every girl on the internet was head over heels for Jeremy Meeks but they probably didn't know that he was convicted for multiple counts of rape. Some even tweeted that they wanted him free... but of course he's 'pretty,' he's a super model. -Azra

  2. I agree with Azra, people adore the oddest things. I mean,would people want Ted Bundy free because he was attractive? I hope not.

  3. I remember seeing these mugshots. I agree that it's interesting how quickly the photo went viral simply because people thought he was attractive.
