Paris couple sips drinks as riot fires burn behind them
Original: A Parisian couple was spotted enjoying a drink in a café as fires from rioting burned in the background. "This is fine."
A Parisian couple was photographed enjoying drinks at a café terrace while fires from rioting burned in the background, an image spreading widely online. The scene, captioned with the meme phrase "This is fine," has drawn comparisons to the famous cartoon dog sitting calmly in a burning room, with many using it as a symbol of detachment amid urban unrest in France.
Why now: The striking contrast between calm café-goers and burning streets makes the image a viral meme about indifference to chaos.
