FuckJerry stole celebrity photos to sell its tequila

FuckJerry continues to be FuckJerry.

The guys behind the viral Instagram leech that is @fuckjerry used celebrity photos and stolen memes to push their tequila brand. To promote Jaja Tequila, Spanish for “haha,” they posted edited images of Amy Poehler, Idris Elba, Will Smith, and other famous people to advertise their product, Vice reports.

Here’s the kicker — none of these celebrities consented to shilling Jaja. Anderson Cooper, for example, infamously (and painfully) did tequila shots on live TV during CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage, but it wasn’t Jaja.

You probably remember Oren Aks as the often exasperated former FuckJerry employee who was featured in the Hulu documentary Fyre Fraud.

The graphic designer managed the disastrous festival’s social media accounts but quit the company about six months after the festival fell apart. After Hulu’s documentary was released, Twitter users voiced their support (and thirst) for him — even Chrissy Teigen gave him a shout out.

Hi. It is me. Oren Aks. I’m actually the designer behind the festival. I’m happy to be here. Would love to make some cheese sandwiches with you @chrissyteigen sometime 🙃

A campaign to unfollow the Fyre Festival promoters is gaining traction

If you want to understand the zeitgeist of the last decade, just scroll through FuckJerry’s Instagram account — it’s a growing archive of viral jokes and videos sourced from every corner of the internet. But social media users are over FuckJerry’s unfair content stealing, and #FuckFuckJerry is working.

Comedians are leading the campaign to unfollow FuckJerry, a massive meme account and media giant that “curates” and reposts content from other creators. The account is run by Elliot Tebele and a team from Jerry Media, and since its creation in 2011 has gained a following of 14.3 million.
