An image circulating widely on social media shows an older man in the stands at a match in Mexico pointing his cellphone toward a young female fan, giving the impression that he was taking a photo of her butt.
Although there is no confirmation that the scene is authentic—and some users even believe it could be an image generated with artificial intelligence or from another sporting event—the image has gone viral because of the comments it has sparked.
Phrases like “The lion may lose its teeth, but not its desire to eat” or “They caught grandpa taking home the best souvenir from the World Cup” flooded the posts, turning the photograph into one of the most shared memes of the moment.
Beyond its origin, the image has once again shown how a simple snapshot can unleash a wave of humor on the internet.
