I came across this picture on Facebook when a friend had recently posted it. A few weeks ago there was a picture similar to this one that looked like the actor Nicolas Cage. The picture with Nicolas Cage and Daniel Radcliffe have the same humorous effect. I guess it is comparing that since Harry Potter is a wizard, so he is almost immortal. There is an article from the Hollywood Reporter makes humorous claims that Nicolas Cage must be a vampire because the picture looks exactly like him. The article said that the picture of Nicolas Cage look a like was offered one million dollars for the picture. I think this is a good example of a nanostory from And Then There's This by Bill Wasik. The Nicolas Cage picture died down and now there is the Harry Potter picture surfacing.

Facebook

This meme is a continuation of previous ones that were in response to the outrage over Facebook changing its layout once again. It relates to the concept of the nano story in Wasik’s And Then There’s This book because this meme will eventually die out until Facebook make other changes to their layout again. This meme mocks how Facebook created two newsfeed in one page. I honestly do not understand why Facebook changed its layout to having two newsfeed on one page. There was a previous meme that was created before that says: “Facebook Changes Again! Can you hear a funny noise coming from earth? Oh don’t worry, it happens every time Facebook changes.”
