The sad part is that this image is so innocuous that there is no chance in hell that it would have Meme'd the way it is memeing right now if he hadn't tried to take it down.

I mean, the Unflattering Beyonce pic were she is making an involuntary orgasm-face, that might have gone viral even without help, but this picture, in which a 54 year old man doesn't look like he did when he was 20, wouldn't have gone anywhere if not for the inevitable power of the Streisand Effect. When will the media-suicides stop?
