It’s Jussieversary! That special time of year when we remember the man who took one of the biggest L’s in hoax history. Three years ago tomorrow, Jussie (pronounced “Juicy”) was ATTACKED (Narrator: He wasn’t) in the dead cold of night while getting a sandwich and some smokes. Every year, this date rolls around and we remember the man not just for the mistakes he made — and he has made a lot of mistakes — but for the memes he gave us.
The other day I asked a few friends what they thought the funniest and most obvious mistake was. With so many to choose from, I decided I’d do the internet a favor and rank the former Mighty Duck’s ten biggest mistakes from his hate crime hoax performance.
10. “I’m the gay Tupac”
Yep, he said that. What does it mean? No one knows. He said it at a concert after referencing his fight with the “attackers.” Anyone comparing themselves to the very much alive Tupac Shakur obviously has an inflated ego. He thinks quite highly of himself which is precisely what set this all in motion: the idea that he wasn’t appreciated enough. I wonder who the trans Tupac is…
Sidenote: Tupac is Kamala Harris’s favorite rapper, maybe that’s why she was so quick to retweet Jussie’s lie. “All Liez on Me.”
9. The Check
Paying your hoax actors $3,500 by check is an amazing move. Is there anything more traceable? Why not video tape himself handing them cash with a note that says “hoax payment” on it? A dope selfie video of him handing a novelty size check to the hoax actors? At least the memo line didn’t say “Fake Attack Payment.”
8. The Letter……
