A cargo ship is stuck in the Suez Canal, but these 19 memes are here to save it

A massive cargo ship is wedged in the Suez Canal in Egypt. It’s one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes, with about 12 per cent of global trade passing through it – and this container ship is now blocking it, and it may take weeks to get cleared. Obviously this isn’t ideal for anyone, but what it has given birth to is a lot of memes about the Suez Canal cargo ship.

Just before it got stuck in the Suez Canal, the ship drew what can only be described as, well, a dick. Feast your eyes on it:

just to reiterate: about 10 percent of world trade has been at a standstill for 2 days because a cargo ship drew a giant dick in the Red Sea then wedged itself sideways in the Suez Canalhttps://t.co/hlN1PcmMhW pic.twitter.com/wfSKdrtpkj
