A viral photo of a man dressed in a full British colonial-era military uniform—complete with a red coat, pith helmet, and sword—posing triumphantly next to a Hatsune Miku banner has sent the internet into hysterics.
With the man's dead-serious expression, the online community quickly reached the only logical conclusion: England has officially "colonized" Hatsune Miku. The image has all the hallmarks of a perfect meme, relying on the hilarious contrast between historically accurate military attire and a vibrant, teal-haired virtual pop star.
Driven by a total lack of context and the absolute confidence of the pose, the photo needs no explanation. It stands alone as a wonderfully chaotic piece of internet culture, proving that sometimes the most unhinged and unexpected visual clashes make for the absolute best comedy.
