Police in Galveston, Texas issued an apology after their officers on horseback were seen leading a black man by rope through the streets on Saturday. The 43-year-old man Donald Neely was arrested for criminal trespassing after having been warned by the cops a few times. 

Police claim that the two patrolmen didn't have any "malicious intent", and hadn't tied his hands with rope, but the picture circulating on news outlets suggests otherwise, and actually, it really just confirms that this was an unbelievable kind of cruel. 

The attorney for Mr. Neely's family says that the man is homeless and bipolar. His family hadn't seen him for several years until the photo went viral online. 

Twitter User @allieward, started a viral Twitter thread when she complained to Macy's about the recent release of their "portion control" plates in stores. The feedback was largely one of disapproval, and people really started getting into it in the comments section. Eventually Macy's intervenes, and announces that they will in fact be removing the plates from all stores cause they "missed the mark" on this one. What do you think? A bunch of overreacting and unnecessary drama, or did Macy's cross the line on this one. 

This message board's going viral on Twitter, cause it does a brutal job at showing all the messed up ways landlords/property managers prey upon renters. These might confirm your darker suspicions about shady landlords and their true motivations. 

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. 

There are more than a few satire websites out there, and there's a lot of softheaded nincompoops who believe it. Sometimes reading a joke headline can be confusing for a person who lacks critical thinking skills. Often they get angry because they don't understand what's going on. Sometimes, even more distressingly, they think that the headline is good news and share it with their friends. It's fun to laugh at their confusion, but eventually it just kind of gets sad.

Life is full of failed attempts that deserve public ridicule. These attempts can be anything. Sometimes you're trying to look rich or smart. Sometimes you're trying to buy some food. Sometimes you're trying to photoshop some abs on. Many of these attempts will lead to hilarious failure.

We hope by now you've heard about the viral meme sensation that is "Storm Area 51." A joke of an event organized on Facebook that's already accumulated hundreds of thousands of people confirming to attend. We're thinking it's highly unlikely that any Kyles actually show up for this, but we will absolutely take all of the hilarious memes inspired by the event. Area 51 just wasn't ready for all these memes. 

A recent AskReddit thread calls out various companies for sticking a big old middle finger to their customers. Seriously though. Why you gotta privatize a human right like water, Nestle? The chill is terribly low with these companies. 

In case you missed it, there's a viral Facebook event dominating headlines right now, and it's about hundreds of thousands of people signing up for storming Area 51. The memes have never been better. We just sincerely hope that no lunatics out there are actually giving serious consideration toward jeopardizing their safety over trying to storm a heavily guarded military base. Don't do it, Kyle.
