trolling

Do a barrel roll!

EVERY day since May 26th. Dude, I can't even.





And then glorious beauty struck. Seth stepped to the plate, and address the incessant string of 'exposed' tweets:



Things weren't weird enough though, were they?



I'm DONE.

There have been a lot of great protest signs lately. We've covered a lot of them. But is there anything better than one made on the fly and placed in front of a camera that directly refutes someone as they're talking. 

That's what happened in European parliment today when Brexiter Nigel Farage took the floor and Seb Dance, a Labour MEP, trolled the shit out him. Holding up a sign that reads "He's lying to you."

That's some expert trolling. Good work.  

Trust us when we say a Dark Souls 3 gangsquad-driven death ain't a pretty sight. The notorious, ravenous pack of trolls was led by Iron Pineapple, who has an established reputation for pulling these kinds of hilarious (albeit infuriating) stunts.

Yesterday, George Zimmerman announced that he would be auctioning off the infamous gun used in the killing of Trayvon Martin as "a piece of American history". It did not take long for that auction to get pulled but Zimmerman managed to find a different website to host his auction after all.  

A troll on the internet wasted no time on vigilante justice though, going by the name of "Racist McShootface" and driving the price of the gun into the millions.

Eventually the troll account was disabled but it was enough to inspire other trolls to carry on his good work. Reportedly, the fake bid made it up to around $65 million. It's unclear if the trolls will ultimately shut down the auction or if it will go to the highest legitimate bidder. The website it is hosted on has made it clear that they do not manage the auctions that users host on their site.

So far the seemingly most legitimate bidder is Brez Morrell according to Gawker, who bid up to $485,000 before "Racist McShootface" derailed the proceedings. Also of note, and not particularly surprising, Brez Morrell's response to trolls was to defend Zimmerman and tell trolls that he (or she) hopes their "children get murdered". Awesome.
