On Halloween night all the way back in 2003, Zach Downey, who was 30 years old at the time, arrived home from work and cut his hair into perhaps the most famous mullet to ever grace the internet in the span of just five minutes. As the seemingly insignificant photo began to spread online, it slowly morphed into the Advice Animals meme known as “Almost Politically Correct Redneck,” depicting Downey as an ignorant hillbilly who attempts to voice his opinion on various issues, only to miss the mark considerably. Now, over 16 years later since he snapped the image in 2003, Downey works as an immigration document technician for a university in Colorado where he lives with his wife. We managed to track him down and ask him about the meme, what he’s been up to and how he feels about being the face of a controversial meme format.
