Identification notes
What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a two-panel meme. The top panel shows an open refrigerator door shelf holding a bottle of Heinz tomato ketchup in plain view, captioned "Men be like 'where's the ketchup'." The bottom panel is a screenshot of first-person gameplay from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, with a wooded field, chain-link fence, and on-screen HUD, captioned "Men also be like 'Sniper in that building 400 yards out past the trees'." The gender generalization is the meme's joke, reproduced as found. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
