 Magazine decided to make the inventor of the Oculus Rift virtual reality headsets, and reportedly the guy who brought back Virtual reality from the dead,Palmer Luckey, a subject of ridicule. In its upcoming August 17 issue about virtual reality, which it titled 'Why Virtual Reality Is About to Change the World,' the Magazine used Luckey's picture on the cover of its story..

But what was supposed to profile the young founder and virtual reality, brought about some new memes no thanks to Luckey's Time picture. The picture shows the Oculus Rift founder strapping his Rift headset and jumping in the air like a baby in a beach. Everyone sees Time's cover on virtual reality as funny and so, took turns to horn their Photoshop skills. Truly, this is about to change virtual reality.

The cover with Palmer Luckey is amazing and really, really odd. So we photochopped it:
