Nelson Mandela as seen through social media

[bunn]

Today I have seen so many shares of photographs of Nelson Mandela with inspirational captions.

I'm trying to resist the temptation to do a survey of the captions and find out how many of them should really be attributed to other people (my guess?  definitely some, probably many, and just possibly, lots).

I think all the *photos* are really Mandela - although now I say that, the temptation to see if I can slip a photo of some other bloke in, with a quote stolen from Pam Ayres is growing almost unbearable...

I guess this is what it really means to become a legend.

The Paris Hilton one is as truthful as the David Cameron one.


Mind you, Keith Vaz spelling his name wrong on three separate occasions is apparently true.

Actually, I was thinking more of the photos that are all 'portrait of the Great Man in a Thoughtful Pose' with a caption like "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."
