Comedy is not Ann Coulter's forte.
The conservative commentator tried to humorously protest the #BringBackOurGirls movement Sunday by tweeting a photo of herself holding up a sign that read: "Bring Back Our Country." Her attempt at humor was poorly received, as dozens of memes proves. After all, First Lady Michelle Obama and Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway are among the thousands who have been championing the #BringBackOurGirls cause, which was created earlier this month to draw support for the missing schoolgirls in Nigeria. Since Coulter published her picture, it's been retweeted more than 2,000 times.
"My hashtag contribution to world affairs..." Coulter tweeted. Twitter user @FullOfBalogna was the first to alter the image so that Coulter's paper appeared blank, writing, "I'm a miserable person who peddles hate to make money off dumb republicans." Needless to say, the polarizing political pundit's plan backfired spectacularly. Here are some of the more popular memes:

Ann Coulter Inadvertently Turns Herself Into a Joke After Mocking #BringBackOurGirls Campaign
CLEVELAND, Ohio Tuesday's entertainment news includes a first look at Ben Affleck as Batman, Alec Baldwin getting arrested and Channing Tatum to play an X-Men character.
Director Zack Snyder has tweeted the first photo of Ben Affleck as Batman and it's pretty intense. The photo comes after Snyder tweeted an image of the Batmobile earlier in the week.
Bob Dylan has released a new song without warning. The track is a cover of Frank Sinatra's "Full Moon and Empty Arms." A representative of Dylan's told Rolling Stone the song will be featured on a forthcoming album from Dylan.
It looks like Channing Tatum will join the X-Men universe in the role of Gambit for 2016's "X-Men: Apocalypse." It's not completely confirmed, but pretty much.
Alec Baldwin was arrested Tuesday after he, allegedly, verbally assaulted two officers in New York City after they stopped him for riding his bike the wrong way down a street.
Shonda Rhimes, the creator behind "Scandal" and "Grey's Anatomy," has agreed to a four-year deal to remain with ABC studios through 2018. Expect more hit shows.
Ann Coulter's attempt at comedy over the weekend has failed. Coulter attempted to mock the #BringBackOurGirls campaign by posting a photo of her holding up a sign that reads, "Bring Back Our Country." The move set up a series of hilarious memes mocking Coulter.

Ann Coulter's bullshit conservative troll game is slipping. In her zeal to land a jab against... Twitter? Michelle Obama? Nigerian schoolgirls?... she opened a door for her detractors, and they jumped through it with a two-leg flying kick of Photoshop fury.
The way Coulter's game is supposed to work is 1) she says something bigoted or just plain dumb and trollish, 2) outraged critics say something she can twist as sexist, 3) she positions herself as the victim, 4) she wins. But if she looks like a fucking tone-deaf joke of a demagogue instead of a victim, it doesn't really work.
That's where Twitter comes in. Here's the backstory: Michelle Obama, among others, made the hashtag #bringbackourgirls trend, a viral if superficial way to draw mainstream attention to the plight of the 234 Nigerian teen girls kidnapped by an Islamist militant group called Boko Haram. Never mind that anti-Islam conservatives were the first folks to scream for media attention to this story; the nascent right-wing meme is now that Michelle Obama trivialized the story by hashtagging it. So Ann Coulter responded thusly on Twitter yesterday:
One could read a bunch of racial shit into a tweet like that, but why bother? It's just stupid "Oh my team isn't winning so fuck this fake version of America" sunshine patriotism. It's poor form and poor discourse.
More to the point, it's indicative of how a conservative doesn't get social media. Here is how social media responds.
Uh oh.
