And now, for the latest example of a kid whose life is turned upside down thanks to the Internet, we have the excited boy in the stands yesterday at the Women's World Cup final.
The boy is a fan of the USA, and after Alex Morgan scored the first US goal against Japan to break a scoreless tie in the second half, alert viewers caught the boy flashing the crowd with his chest.
This would seem to be an unusual level excitement for a young boy watching a women's soccer match, to say the least. Other blogs have made the Brandi Chastain connection. It doesn't quite reach the level of Internet explosiveness as the female Vancouver Canucks fan who flashed Ben Eager in the penalty box during the Stanley Cup Finals. However, it does make you wonder what the kid would have done if the US were actually able to close out the win yesterday.
This moment lives on in the Internet forever. Fortunately for the boy, it's summertime, which means he has a couple of months before school starts again, and there's time for the next Internet sensation to come around and make everyone forget about this.
