Glad I didn't read the title before the meme. It would have completely ruined the (great) joke. You might want to consider moving the spoiler to the body or a comment.

But it is based on real Latin - parts of Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum - and that's what this meme is referencing.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed velit risus, cursus vel nibh quis, tempor tristique dolor. Mauris vel tellus vel erat suscipit auctor at in ipsum. Proin euismod, justo vel volutpat sollicitudin, velit eros tempor tortor, vel placerat mauris libero a libero. Aenean ut sagittis neque. Integer quis quam sed magna hendrerit bibendum. Sed at justo sed sem congue elementum. Nam id sollicitudin dolor. Proin placerat metus ac massa euismod, et imperdiet lectus sollicitudin. Integer mattis commodo sem non placerat. Donec in dignissim nunc.
