RightChange Steals SooperMexican Meme

SooperMexican's original meme
On Wednesday evening, a conservative political page called RightChange posted what has become a very popular meme.

The meme mocks a phone call between US President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Over the last twenty-four hours it has received over forty-six hundred shares and seventeen thousand likes.

However, one problem, the meme is stolen.

It was originally posted on the night of Saturday, March 1, by conservative blogger, SooperMexican.

RightChange used the exact same photos and exact same wording, but changed the fonts, removed SooperMexican's logo, and placed their own on it.

SooperMexican quickly found out and reacted on his own blog.

"This is not a small thing – stealing an image steals my work and lets them benefit from my talent, and it happens to all artists, but it should absolutely NOT happen in the conservative community where we’re supposed to be about private rights as one of our philosophical pillars."

He did try discussing things with RightChange, as did we at this site, but they simply aren't responding.

Join us, and SooperMexican, in calling for them to take down the stolen meme, replace it with SooperMexican's original, and if you are supporting RightChange please withdraw that support.
