If you have been following the #deflategate fiasco closely, this story should need little introduction. Celebrity quarterback Tom Brady was in court on Wednesday, facing trial for his involvement in illegally deflating footballs before a championship game. Veteran courtroom sketch artist Jane Rosenberg produced a rather charged rendition of the four-time Super Bowl champion, which has since been chewed up and spit out by the ruthless meme generator that is the web. The sketch, hurriedly scrawled under the time constraints and pressure of an international audience, depicts the athelete with a hallowed expression that unfortunately resembles Michael Shannon in Take Shelter. Now, its visage has been plastered onto the likes of E.T., the Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Edvard Munch’s The Scream, with newer, unkind-er Photoshop jobs churned out by the hour.
