Reminds me of when..uh.. Beyonce(?).. didn't like the Superbowl photo taken of her, so she had lawyers attempt to remove all copies from the Internet.

We all know nothing escapes the Internet once it's on there.

It wasn't "Beyonce", it was Beyonce's publicist (it's unlikely Beyonce knew anything about the request), and they didn't try to "remove all copies from the internet", they just sent BuzzFeed an email asking them to take it down.

BuzzFeed, being BuzzFeed, decided to make a big deal out of it (gotta get those eyeballs).
