So, I need to know

first it was pictures of some moustache faced guy that everyone had [see G-Man's current avatar]

Then some guy just standing around with different colour variations

Then it was the dog from family guy

Now its some lovable real life dog


Am I missing out some some fad where the same avatar gets passed around with slightly different variations, or is this some kind of government cnspiracy to undermine the free-will of the common man?
