translation: there's always somebody that hasn't seen it yet, and so passes it on.
The real annoying ones are where "phone tag" gets involved when someone decides to take the same sentimental statement from an image, but make a new image on it, so it goes around yet again even through the same people who posted the original the first time. And THEN someone goes and changes the attribution.
Lots of quotes go around attributed to George Carlin that aren't. but what was more annoying was that a proper George Carlin quote ("everybody who drives slower than you is an idiot; everybody who drives faster is a maniac") ended up going around as an image attributed to Ellen Degeneres.
