Oh, The Cringe, The Memes — Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Shares Patriotic Surfing Video In Honor of Fourth of July

Facebook Inc FB CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent part of the holiday weekend surfing on an electric hydrofoil-like contraption carrying the Star and Stripes. He posted a video of the surfing action online and soon enough it was turned into a meme.

What Happened: Zuckerberg’s watersports action video was accompanied by background music in the form of John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” A fact that was not lost on some social media users.

Writer and editor Matthew Yglesias wrote that Mark Zuckerberg is “proving he’s not just richer than you, he’s more patriotic.”

Facebook user Mike Beltzner commented on Zuckerberg’s video, “Next year you need to add a cheeseburger and/or fireworks into this to go FULL AMERICA.”

The Facebook CEO replied sportingly, “Does it count if I ate a cheeseburger right after this?”

Why It Matters: Last year, Zuckerberg was seen surfing in Hawaii with copious amounts of sunscreen applied on his face in an attempt to disguise himself from paparazzi, and the image of that would soon turn into a viral meme.
