“Be like Bill”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The Be like Bill meme typically features an image of a simple stick figure, who may be wearing a knitted hat, together with text such as "Bill is on Facebook. Bill is a vegan. Bill doesn't tell everybody about it. Bill is smart. Be like Bill."^[1]^[2]^[3] The meme has been described as "a way for people to passive-aggressively call out social media behaviours that annoy them."^[4] The meme also attracted a large number of detractors who criticized the meme's tone and lack of self-awareness.^[5]

Be like Bill has a Facebook page and {{as of|2016|1|25|lc=yes}} the page had over 1.5 million "likes".^[4]

Boston officials used the meme to discourage the use of space savers in parking spots.^[6]^[7] The Queensland Police Service wrote a joke Facebook update stating that they were pursuing Bill for "repeatedly disturbing people’s timelines".^[8]

Variants

The meme has spawned foreign versions, including Bilal in Arabic, Rashid in Malaysia, Jose in Spanish^[2] and Петя (Petya) in Russian. A culturally-specific Afghani version is called Be like Qodos, written in Dari and Pashto.^[9] The Filipino version is called Tularan si Juan, written in Tagalog.^[10]

There is a Sri Lankan version සිරිමත්(Sirimat) which was soon changed to සිරිපාල(Siripaala) weeks before the 2015 presidential election. There is a very old Sinhalese poem taught in schools about a fictional boy named Sirimat praising his daily way of life, such as planning the next day before going to sleep and waking up in early morning.^[11]
