The Backstory
In 2015, A Dutch food blogger Sid Frisjes visited the Eiffel Tower and, like every other tourist, took an innocent photograph trying to hold the Eiffel Tower from its tip.
Sid’s attempt to place his fingers on top of the Parisian monument fell short by much.
That’s when he decided to seek the help of the notoriously funny users of 4Chan.
He requested them to Photoshop the Eiffel Tower under his finger, so that it would seem as if he is touching it.
What followed took the Internet by storm.
