Like David, the boy who went viral after a trip to the dentist , Sammy wants to be known for more than just his viral fame. Over the years, much has been made by academics and internet commenters about how people who go viral as children will fare when they get older. Laney also allows Sammy to have the final say on any media appearances or interviews. The Griners were also asked to be on a TLC reality show about people who suddenly became rich, but Laney disapproved of the concept.
Most recently, the image was used to advertise an American cereal, Honey Bunches of Oats. She wants him to go to the same arts school his father went to, and in the meantime Sammy is considering making a YouTube Channel.
He loves YouTube, although sometimes finds it strange when people use his meme in their videos. Accessibility Links Skip to content.

Griner tells TIME that she has long opposed King, and that the moment she called her business manager and copyright attorney and asked them to help her stop King from using the image as soon as she became aware of it.
The Florida resident says her lawyers sent the cease-and-desist letter to King on Monday, and that the image was later taken down from his Facebook page. It is unclear if the image has been fully removed online. Unlike you and your campaign, they followed the law, gave our client the opportunity to approve or disapprove of their uses, bargained for licenses, and paid for the rights they legitimately acquired.
Your use has harmed and continues to harm that well-earned goodwill. Griner also says she has not yet heard from King or his representatives.
