Description
"Bert is Evil" is a meme that became popular as a satirical website called 'Bert is Evil" that featured Bert near historical tragedies or infamous figures such as Adolf Hitler, Osama bin Laden, and others. The meme reached unintentional global attention in 2001 when an image from the site was used showing Bert with Osama. As a result of the controversy, Dino Ignacio had to take the website down. "Bert is Evil" became one of the earliest examples of a meme reaching escape velocity to such an extent as to stir political discourse. BIC DAO acquired this artifact from the meme creator, Dino Ignacio, who minted it on its 25th anniversary.
