influencer

This influencers culture is getting out of hand. 

"To deny me is to abuse my over-inflated ego." Yes, that's the gist of a painfully obnoxious, terribly entitled correspondence between an influencer bridezilla and a very reasonable communications firm. To go so far as to tell them to NOT respond again, or else they'll get named and shamed was the icing on this choosing beggar "influencer" cake. 

With wedding season in full bloom, the bridezilla's are really coming out of the woodwork. Just the other day we ran another painful post on another bridezilla who gave her bald bridesmaid a hard time for not wearing a wig to the wedding. Like, are you kidding me! 

Yes, that striking soul-piercing blue lake in Siberia that Instagram influencers are migrating towards in the chase for the next great selfie, is actually a toxic waste dump. The company that uses the lake to dump waste for the Heating and Electric Station No. 5 was forced to release a statement amidst the aggressive, mindless stupidity. The statement reads at one point, "you can not swim in the ash dump." 

Buzzfeed even reports that one dedicated influencer described the water as "warm and tastes sweet-ish." You can't make this level of stupid up. It's as if it walked off the script of a post apocalyptic movie itself. 

Are these the end times? A bunch of influencers blinded by their own lust for social media viral fame that they disregard viable statements from concerned officials; and proceed to swim around in toxic waste dumps? We sincerely hope that everyone ends up being alright. 

An AskReddit thread entertained the idea of bringing historical figures into present day, to see how they'd fare in the wild world of social media. The results are a fun Pandora's Box of what-ifs, that ultimately seem to make some sense, based off what we know. The real question, is whether any of these historical figures, would spend their time using social media in the first place.
