About

Jack Weppler Ex-Girlfriend Revenge is an image macro series featuring a photo of a boy with insulting text overlaid. The images were not a viral success on their own, but became a news story due to the dramatic story surrounding their creation.

Origin

Jack's exgirlfriend uploaded dozens of images to Memegenerator and managed to take over the Google images page for the search term "Jack Weppler".

After a complaint thread was started on Google Webmaster Help (the thread has been removed) by Jack's mother, the story was picked up by blog sites.
