Have You Sent Keanu Reeves Your Cheerful Wishes Today?
You might have heard it's Cheer Up Keanu Reeves Day, the culmination of a meme that swept through Facebook, Tumblr, and the rest of the civilized world when a photo of a... well, sad-looking Keanu Reeves and an even sadder sandwich hit the wires. The resulting outpouring of support -- and creative Photoshopping -- is really the best thing we could ever hope for from the Internet.
Reeves's reps don't have much of a sense of humor about the new holiday, denying Time an interview and issuing the statement: "Keanu Reeves would like to thank all of his fans for their concerns regarding his happiness and wants to assure everyone that all is well. This situation is a result of a misinterpretation of a paparazzi shot."
But there's nothing misinterpreted about the well-wishes communicated in revisionist art like the one above or the one below, which are merely a couple of the torrent of goodwill sent Reeves's way. Of course 13,000 Facebook supporters can't be wrong. And they're nice! For once, the Web is nice. You've really accomplished something here, Keanu.

"Cheer Up Keanu Reeves Day"
...um, ok.
i think "Facebook & Tumblr" users need to get a f*ing life, lol. but that probably goes without saying.
Whoa.
This is one of the better memes to hit the internet lately. I've been enjoying it.
I bought Johnny Mnemonic.
On VHS.
AND on DVD.
And I have Amazon set to send me an email when it becomes available on Blu Ray.
Do you think that cheered him up?
memes and trollin' are the best thing happened to comedy and human society lately. internet f*cking rules.
Me and him are going to have a Keanu Reeves movie marathon. I say that he is a great actor but he says that he is horrible. So I was wondering what are ALL of the movies starring Keanu. Also Could you give me your opinion on him and the movies?
YEs! I've sent. Great post :))
