Zoe Roth and Kyle Craven - "The Girl Who Burned The House" and "The Legend of Brian" Now?

One Sunday morning in 2005, 4-year-old Zoe Roth and her family witnessed a fire in Mebane, North Carolina. This is a rehearsal for kids to learn how to put out a fire so the fire is completely under control. Families gathered and firefighters allowed children to take turns holding the hose. Zoe Roth's family could not believe this fire changed her life forever.

Dave Roth - Zoe Roth's father, who is an amateur photographer, told his daughter to laugh and capture the moment she was about to enter the fire. With her messy hair, mischievous eyes, mischievous smile, and burning house behind her, Zoe looks like the little culprit that started the fire. The legendary meme picture "catastrophe girl" was born here.

In 2007, Mr. Dave took this picture of his daughter to enter a contest and win an award, making the picture even more famous. After the photo went viral on social media, Zoe Roth became famous beyond imagination. The "disaster girl" meme was also used to express emotions in various situations and became one of the most viral photos on the Internet.

Sharing about how her childhood photo became famous online, Zoe and her parents both said it was a strange experience. Most of her friends and family members know about the photo. She herself also saw it for the first time on iFunny and Facebook. At the time, Zoe thought this was interesting. Zoe's parents are also very relaxed about this. For Zoe and her family, the content that accompanies the photo has nothing to do with Zoe herself, so it doesn't matter how it's used.

More than 10 years on, Zoe decided to sell the original photo as NFT (Non Fungible Token), a digital asset on the blockchain, for 180 Ether - a Bitcoin-like cryptocurrency. Recorded at the end of April, 180 Ether was worth more than $495,000, equivalent to VND 11.4 billion. The Zoe family retains the copyright and will receive 10% of the sales if the photo continues to be sold in the future.

Zoe Roth is 21 years old now. The girl in the legendary meme photo is now a student majoring in peace, war and defense at the University of North Carolina. No one recognizes Zoe as the girl in the viral photo, nor knows her real name, but everyone has certainly seen this meme photo at least a few times.

After graduation, Zoe plans to take a year off before pursuing a master's degree in international relations. The young girl wants to use the money earned from the photo to pay off her college tuition debt and donate to social organizations.

Equally famous as the "disaster girl" is the meme "Holy Brian". In early 2012, a photo of a male student wearing an outdated checkered shirt, rickety hair, and a silly smile showing braces suddenly went viral on the Internet. The photo refers to the person who is extremely unlucky, doing everything wrong and counterproductive.

The main character in this meme is Kyle Craven (born 1989, from the US), then a final year student in Construction Management at Kent State University. After nearly a decade, Kyle graduated from college, married, and had two children. His family currently lives in Broadview Heights, Ohio. Kyle is working at a construction company here.

"This photo was born when I was a sophomore at Archbishop Hoban High School. My friends and I dressed weirdly, took a lot of silly pictures and tried to put them in the school yearbook. That day, I I went to a thrift store to buy a red plaid sweater, then deliberately chose a purple background. I rubbed my eyes repeatedly to make them look swollen and tried not to laugh at the camera. And so the picture was born, "said Kyle. the.

A month later, when the school returned the yearbook photos to the students, Kyle and his friends burst into laughter. However, the principal asked Kyle to take a photo of the yearbook because his photo was too "silly".

The photo was quickly forgotten until a few years later, Kyle's close friend Ian Davies posted the photo online with the caption: "Driver's license test... get the first fine".

Within a month, this image spread all over the Internet, causing the owner to panic. "It's just one of thousands of silly pictures I've taken up to that point. At first, I thought 'Bad Luck Brian' would soon be forgotten within a week or two and wouldn't mind. But. it became even more popular. I was really shocked for a few weeks," Kyle said.

Many years later, after graduating from high school, Kyle met up with some of his former teachers. They said that many generations of students then kept asking and couldn't believe that "Holy Brian" had ever attended the school. Kyle is famous and has as many fans as any other star.

Soon, the pair of best friends became aware of the opportunity to make money from this sudden popularity. Kyle revealed in the first 3 years since he became famous, he used to make $ 15,000-20,000 from just allowing memes to be printed on T-shirts.

To this day, despite the decline in popularity, Kyle still occasionally receives invitations to collaborate that can "make money". For example, the commercial for McDonald's was widely broadcast on television last year.

Kyle said the meme "Holy Brian" gives him the opportunity to do things he never dreamed of, including traveling to many parts of the world and meeting many famous stars. 8X admits it changed his life, but didn't decide his life.
