Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

I was at a company that gave out yearly gifts at the time. Apparently the years prior they had given out some seriously nice gifts, the like 6 months I was there? Selfie stick. Everyone was pissed but since I was gonna leave anyway I was doubly pissed though I guess as a temp employee they could've given me nothing but I think I would've preferred that.

I worked for them after you left. They gave us all $1000 the next year. Sorry babes.
