Origin
On April 15th, 2016, Twitter user @MarkusJ (account since deleted) posted a tweet that said "real shit: this is the email i sent to my girlfriend's husband about me moving to the area," followed by an email in which he outlines his passionate love affair with a woman named Laura to her husband (email shown below with a redaction by hipinion[1] user generic).
Spread
Immediately after the tweet was posted, @MarkusJ's followers began to mock him. @ohsnapitsjf[2] was one of the first, harshly criticizing @MarkusJ's email in a series of tweets (shown below).
Meanwhile, Weird Twitter began to mock the scenario by altering the lyrics to popular songs to fit the narrative of the email. Popular examples were tweeted in a thread[3] by @ByYourLogic, @extremelyonlineguy, @rachelmillman, and many more (ex: shown below).
The wide spread of the jokes led to a thread on /r/OutOfTheLoop[4] posted on the 17th.
