"Ridiculously Photogenic Guy" Becomes Viral Internet Star





Featured on MSN, Yahoo, Mashable, Reddit, Flickr, Tumblr and more, meet viral internet star "Ridiculously Photogenic Guy" Zeddie Little.


Ridiculously Photogenic Guy (RPG) is a new photoshop meme and advice animal featuring a photo of a smiling man running in the 2012 Cooper River Bridge Run.

The photo recently gained notoriety online after being posted to the social news website Reddit where users found the man to be exceptionally handsome.

Identity

The day after the image was posted to Reddit, the man in the photo was identified as 25-year-old New York resident Zeddie Little by the Charleston City Paper. He has a Twitter account & a maxed-out Facebook page. He is currently trying to break into the PR business in New York and has a girlfriend of five years.

He can cook, has a college degree and appears to have a bright future ahead of him. According to the Charleston City Paper, Zeddie Little met his girlfriend in 2007 whilst working at a pizza restaurant in his home town of Charleston, South Carolina. The pair moved to New York last spring and he worked several restaurant jobs while doing internships.

On Wednesday, the very day he landed his first permanent job with a music PR company in the city, he became famous on the Internet. He graduated in 2009 with a BA in arts in communications but during his studies he worked at the EVO Pizzeria in North Charleston.

He's only attractive with the scruff. Otherwise he's creepy looking to me.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess! I fucking hate beards, but a little scruff makes a guy ten million times more attractive. True statistic right here.

This dude looks like a creepy dweeb.

wow i JUST went on 9gag for the first time in months and found this guy and tweeted to find out who he was

it's like ontd is reading my mind. or kydeon is, anyway

in other news, 9gag is a disgusting place
judgmental 8th-Apr-2012 12:44 am (UTC)
Seriously, I had to stop going into 9gag because the racism, homophobia and sexism is just way too much to handle. Tho I just went today because I was really bored and found this meme.
ionizable 8th-Apr-2012 12:52 am (UTC)
you must be me!

nothing is as bad there as the sexism though, and what guts me is that almost all my friends irl LOVE the site and see nothing wrong with any of the submissions. :(
queenoftea 8th-Apr-2012 01:25 am (UTC)
ugh i have a friend who keeps posting 9gag fandom shit on twitter. i wish i could pull back the curtain and prove to her how shitty 9gag and all things reddit really are
golden_train 7th-Apr-2012 11:42 pm (UTC)
he's not even attractive.
chakhleha 7th-Apr-2012 11:42 pm (UTC)
eh he's pretty nice on his tumblr & Im kinda impressed he managed to look like that in the middle of a marathon. no hate here

I was just showing my mum some famous memes and trying to explain to her why they were considered funny.

I realised just about none of them actually are. :/ Maybe a couple are legit funny (I do like the "Yo Dawg" ones), but if anything they just seem to epitomise how dumb the internet is. :/
whitegirlthin 7th-Apr-2012 11:45 pm (UTC)
but if anything they just seem to epitomise how dumb the internet is. :/

lol so true.
chuk_is_dazzled 7th-Apr-2012 11:50 pm (UTC)

whitegirlthin 7th-Apr-2012 11:52 pm (UTC)

givemethepeasx 8th-Apr-2012 12:39 am (UTC)
story of my life. also happens when i try to tell a story...
bluesforgotten 7th-Apr-2012 11:44 pm (UTC)
I think this meme is dumb as shit, but IDG the hate for this guy - the photographer talked to TIME (http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/04/06/internet-meet-ridiculously-photogenic-guy/) about how he posted the picture to Flickr, and then it got put on reddit...IDK the dude was just running, its not his fault the internet makes up dumb shit. It's real dumb.
mmbien 7th-Apr-2012 11:45 pm (UTC)
he's gonna regret that twitter page when ppl start writing fanfic about him and tweeting him about it
musicnextdoor 7th-Apr-2012 11:48 pm (UTC)
He's a PR guy. No such thing as bad pr, etc etc.
kydeon 8th-Apr-2012 10:39 am (UTC)
*aspiring* PR guy
