Memes and Mashups

This meme relies on the connectivity to the “Scumbag Steve” meme. In the original meme, Scumbag Steve is always doing something immoral or annoying. Here, Mars is pictured “wearing” Scumbag Steve’s characteristic hat with text that reads, “Moon finally gets some attention with eclipse: Steals spotlight with flowing water.” This meme relies on personifying Mars as “attention stealing” and its connection to Scumbag Steve for its humor. I can see no further implications, political, scientific, or otherwise, for this meme.
