If there's one thing the denizens of Twitter, the Internet, the world really, are good for; it's banding together and taking up arms to stage a rage-fueled protest against anything remotely or absolutely evident of the proverbial 'whitewashing'. George Takei led the charge somewhat recently on that whole Doctor Strange business. Netflix went and kicked the hornet's nest with their new trailer for Death Note.
Decorating a pizza with a gross amount of Peeps for a topping (see atrocity here) was one thing, but bro, get your shit together and carry your greasewheel like a human being. At least the steady procession of utterly outraged reactions made for a comedic goldmine.
The collective reaction on this particularly absurd claim about a family struggling to scrape by on $500k would seem to (rightfully) be one of sheer confusion and comical outrage. It just doesn't add up. And after a little poking around the site, it would appear to be 'legit.' Or as credible as a site can be after making such outlandish claims. At least other people on Twitter stepped up to express their highly entertaining bewilderment.
This fitness blog managed to cut out a slice of social media spotlight, and truly, found fleeting relevancy in the worst way possible. If their goal was to get our attention, they definitely didn't fail on that account. One does not address the everyday pizza-loving human on Twitter (a venue already prone to rage-ridden outbursts/tweet reacts); and tell them they shouldn't enjoy their doughy gift of the gods.
Nick Robinson — presenter of BBC Radio Four's Today show, committed the grave mistake of announcing Santa isn't real, on a live radio broadcast. The poor dude failed to lend a little thought and deliberation into what he was saying, and who he was talking to; and he felt the burning pains of Twitter-triggered regret shortly after. It was inevitable, unfortunately. There was no scenario involving BBC suggesting that the 'Father of Christmas' was nothing more than well, a 'father', that wouldn't instantly make the hate-juices to flow.
This guy decided to out a girl he hooked up with after he found out she had herpes, after not disclosing it to him when they originally hooked up. Apparently he posted anonymously on their University's Facebook page, and just wanted to warn other people, because of his experience with her deceiving him. From there he proceeded to face quite a bit of backlash. Was he in fact the asshole for outing her, or did he do the right thing? Or, are they both just kind of crappy people in this equation?
Spencer Gift's done gone dived deep down the rabbit hole of politically-fueled controversy with their latest move here; and in a weird kind of way, it's almost impressive. Impressive that a store so widely hailed as a beacon of notoriously strange wardrobe items legit went and outdid themselves. So, feast your eyes on a social justice warrior's nightmare:
JaVale McGee, center for the Golden State Warriors is the regular target of Shaq when it comes to getting roasted, toasted, and stomped on for all the public eye to see (thank goodness for us). You could know next to nothing/not care at all about NBA basketball, and you'll still get a kick out of the big man igniting the rage of Mr. JaVale McGee in the following Twitter exchange. Let's just hope JaVale learnt a thing or two about not going toe-to-toe with the comedically-inclined pair of 22's. Yeah, still processing how big Shaq's feet are over here.
The Committee for Melbourne, a non-profit organisation in Victoria, Australia launched it's gender equality campaign today, with aims to successfully install equal number of male and female walking signs. Let's just say the pedestrian representation invoked some hilarious, albeit accurate reactions from Aussies on Twitter.
