Where does the “Selling Art on the Beach” meme come from?
On October 1, 2013, SPTV (Globo) aired a report about choosing a career as the ENEM exam approached. On October 25, a YouTube channel posted an edited version in which Milena, calm and with a distant look, says: “Ano que vem eu quero tá na praia vendendo minha arte, das coisas que a natureza dá pra gente.” The site e-farsas concluded on October 28 that it was a montage built on a real report. The line kept spreading through jokes and remixes.
