I chose to recreate an image that one of my friends had posted onto facebook. The comments were really what made this picture so memorable. This original photo was an image that was documenting forever this public humiliation that this person went through after getting too drunk, and promoting this humiliation in an even more public area (facebook).

My recreation image was attempting to take this idea of publicizing humiliation, but tried to show that this person passed out alone doing homework. Many images like the original are both humiliating to the subject but also seem to make the subject more notorious, but an image where someone is passed out from staying home alone and studying would not have this same "cool" feel, and wouldn't be posted to facebook.
