Who is Amelia? Amy Schumer's doppelganger is a big rig driver, Internet calls it a 'weird parody'

'Isn't this Amy Schumer? I can't tell what's real and what's satire anymore,' said one social media user

A picture of a female trucker who stopped by and redeemed her loyalty points for a new mini-fridge went viral on the Internet after people noticed that she looked a lot like comedian Amy Schumer. 

Celina 52 Truck Stop, a Facebook and Twitter page for an alleged truck stop that claims to be "the only truck stop serving the Weaber Valley Region," on Thursday, June 10, tweeted a picture of a trucker named Amelia who stopped by and redeemed her loyalty points for a new mini-fridge. As soon as people saw Amelia's picture and her uncanny similarity with Schumer, Amelia's picture started trending on Twitter. The page once again posted about Amelia after the initial post, this time addressing her teardrop tattoo in the picture. The page honored Amelia's request to note that she did not murder anyone, she simply committed manslaughter. When it comes to Internet finding lookalikes, last year things got serious when an opera singer who looked a lot like China President Xi Jinping was banned from social media for violating the leader's looks and recently, Amy Poehler's lookalike Britney Simmons was trolled for 'squirting vaginal fluids' at cops in a Miami strip club.

Celina 32 Truck Shop tweeted, "Who says only men can drive trucks?? Big Rig driver Amelia stopped in this morning to turn in her Cranking The Hog Reward Points and redeemed this brand new mini fridge valued at over $500 due to the Monster Energy branding. Thanks for continuing to let us service you!" The page later tweeted, "Prize winner Amelia wanted us to point out that her teardrop tattoo is not because she murdered anyone. She accidentally killed a pedestrian once after falling asleep at the wheel and got the tattoo to honor their memory."

Sharing the tweet, one social media user questioned, "There is so much going on in this pic but most of all — when did amy schumer change her name to amelia?" While another one said, "So that’s what Amy Schumer’s been up to"

Calling it a "weird parody" another one said, "Ahh I see... I thought it looked like Amy Schumer, but a pretty generic slightly out of shape blond woman too, so wasn’t convinced. Kinda weird parody. Maybe it hits for some people." Pointing out at Amelia's T-shirt in the picture, which read, 'Truckin n F*ckin' one person wrote, "I always knew Amy Schumer sucked. But I had no idea that she also trucked and f**ked"

"Isn't this Amy Schumer? I can't tell what's real and what's satire anymore," tweeted one confused Internet user. While another one said, "You can tell me this isn’t @amyschumer but I won’t believe you."

Well, turns out the picture even got Schumer's attention.
