Found this on reddit:
"Hey guys, stock photo guy with the unnaturally white hands here. Glad to know I mastered the disingenuous “you’re OUR corporate puppet now" smile. But seriously, wow--I never thought I’d make it onto the Reddit front page. Also the irony of getting “dude you’re famous” texts while enjoying a cold beer and watching Netflix alone in my room is just astounding. Anyway, truly grateful for the overwhelmingly positive responses, and I figured the least I could do is personally drop in to let you guys know that you’re all awesome.

To answer some questions, I got the stock photo from Dreamstime for like $0.50 just as an “eh, I’m gonna wing it” costume because I was one red tunic away from dressing up as Kuzco from The Emperor’s New Groove. Definitely would have loved to keep the watermark on for effect, but I kept it safe for legality purposes, especially since it was for a Halloween costume contest at work.
Although “boss” is the forbidden word at my job, shoutout to my boss for making work awesome (also photo cred) and my brother for kickstarting this viral madness on Twitter. This is probably one of the coolest things that’s happened to me. Thanks!"
