What’s with this meme trend of sticking a “funny” phrase over a random celebrity’s picture? Does that get more eyeballs?
These are Whispers, which is an app that lets you post anonymously but all posts must have a background photo (that I think you choose from the Whisper database), which is why there's a ton of random memes with random photos behind them. Also, Dexter-related memes are currently hot, and that's Dexter himself, so it's not quite so random.
EDIT: These may have come from Pinterest as well, I've seen a lot on there like that when looking them up
"Anonymous"
How is this Dexter-related?
The text is not, the photo of Michael C Hall is. Mainstream memes are largely connected by phrases and iconography, e.g. YouTube comments.
