Please enable JavaScript Florida is where wokes go to die — Getting Some Rest (@InternetHippo) November 13, 2021 Commenters on Twitter often commented in ostensible support of the headline’s content: a judge ruling that a celebrity is allowed to commit crimes is not something i expected (or, tbh really even wanted) to see on my tl, but as far as i can tell she was restricted to a ridiculous level by the conservatorship so i reckon let her have this my girl deserve the world. they took so many years from her life. she is human ♥ A search for earlier iterations turned up a message board thread , Article: ‘Judge Rules That Britney Spears Is Allowed to Commit Crimes.' In the original poster’s post, a hidden content section read: It’s obviously a joke but no idea what the **** is that article A Google search for Judge Rules That Britney Spears Is Allowed to Commit Crimes in fact only turned up the above-linked forum thread. Moving the quotes to surround only Judge Rules and Britney Spears returned what was likely the template for the tweet’s headline: In the center was a New York Times article with the headline, Judge Rules to End Britney Spears’s Conservatorship. Clicking through led to an article (with another headline: Judge Ends Conservatorship Overseeing Britney Spears’s Life and Finances.) A tweet featuring what looked like a New York Times headline reading Judge Rules That Britney Spears is Allowed to Commit Crimes spread virally on and off Twitter. Context for the meme was a recent ruling ending Spears’ years-long conservatorship after a lengthy, often very public legal battle, and the tweet’s Honestly good for her reflected widespread public sentiment around the decision. That humorous riff on a real headline was later decoupled from its source, spreading on Facebook with even less context.
