The absurdity of the meme which has mutated in various ways including the symmetrical variation and octopi garnered 12,000 followers on Twitter with the handle @Angie's Right Leg the night of the Oscars.
Jolie's leg has since been found everywhere on the planet and even the moon, with the infamous moon landing picture featuring her photoshopped leg. The meme is a typical type of meme in which an original photo is altered to amusing effect.
The meme has also launched a new internet phenomenon known as leg-bombing, in which Jolie's leg is superimposed into other iconic photos. The moon landing picture is an example of that, and here's one which is my personal favorite. A leg bomb of the Beatles' cover Abbey Road.
