- Sorry Everybody
Sorry Everybody is a website created after the 2004 United States presidential election, which invited U.S. citizens to apologize to the world in advance for the actions of
George W. Bush in the next four years. Its most prominent feature is the gallery, which contains images submitted by visitors holding various apology notes. The website became massively popular in the aftermath of the presidential elections, leading some Bush supporters to create spinoffs to express they were "not" sorry.The website was created by James Zetlen, an American
neuroscience student who was at the time in the third year of hisundergraduate program at theUniversity of Southern California in Los Angeles. The first photo was taken by Zetlen of himself, in his home in Los Angeles on November 3, 2004, just after the concession ofJohn Kerry in the 2004 U.S. presidential election (which had been held a day earlier, on November 2, 2004). Zetlen's photo inspired thousands more similar contributions from U.S. citizens, and he compiled a gallery of 8,000 of these photos on his website and published a 256-page book containing approximately 1,000 of them, entitled "Sorry Everybody: An Apology to the World for the Re-election of George W. Bush".External links
