Jim Carrey Paints an Angry Portrait of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg

Jim Carrey Paints an Angry Portrait of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg

Jim Carrey's been employing his artistic abilities to strike at members of the Trump administration with vulgar portraits. His latest piece de resistance, however, had the comedian painting in broader strokes beyond the White House and into the realm of tech.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the latest entrant into Carrey's gallery of shame.


The actor/comedian depicted Zuckerberg as the irascible "Marvin the Martian" from the Looney Tunes cartoons –– the soft-spoken alien who is capable of massive destruction.

Carrey tweeted the portrait with the caption:

Congress gets a visit from planet Zuckerberg. "I shall prevent any further election meddling by destroying the Earth with my Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator App! The sudden drop in Facebook's stock has made me angry! VERY ANGRY INDEED!!!"


Carrey's swipe at Zuckerberg came after the co-founder of Facebook testified before members of Congress earlier this week to respond to the Cambridge Analytica data breach and to discuss how to optimize the platform's security and performance.



The recent caricature of Zuckerberg is Carrey's second strike. Back in February, the actor deleted his Facebook account and sold his stock because of the platform's involvement with Russian meddling during the 2016 election.

I'm dumping my @facebook stock and deleting my page because @facebook profited from Russian interference in our elections and they're still not doing enough to stop it. I encourage all other investors who care about our future to do the same. #unfriendfacebook


Carrey's collection continues to expand, using art to express social and political outrage.

He brandished his brush to mock Donald Trump on two occasions. Carrey's recent bashing of the president was posted on March 29 in which he captioned the unflattering portrait as a suggestion for the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, titled, "You Scream. I Scream. Will We Ever Stop Screaming?"


Carrey also turned his brush on the director of the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, who rejects the scientific consensus on climate change. Last year, the EPA approved a pipeline expansion project that was linked to the same period Pruitt was renting a fancy condo for $50 a night from the wife of a lobbyist representing the pipeline's owner.



Carrey also took on the media, pitting Fox News Host Sean Hannity and InfoWars host Alex Jones against each other as WWE fighters.



Supporters of Carry's work piled on the praise for Zuckerberg as "Marvin the Martian."






Some contributed their own artistic take on the scorned Internet entrepreneur.



There is no indication that Carrey is finished with his artistic expressions.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
