When A God Becomes A Meme

The Chinese god of wealth Caishen, or “Cai Shing Ia”, as Thais call him, must have been trending not just here on Earth, but also on the heavens, as this deity took over Thailand’s social media feed and mobile screens on Thursday. Some people have changed their profile pictures into Caishen believe that by doing so they will become prosperous. Others do the same thing, but they do it for the lolz.

“I don’t believe in this. You need to work to get money,” says the first comment. The second says, “People these days are so superstitious, what a shame. I feel sorry for our country.” Both have Caishen profile pics.
