I feel like I’ve been incredibly immersed in social media this week… first there was this weekend, when I was awake and online, and saw the news break of the earthquake/tsunami in Japan via yahoo and facebook.
And yesterday I witnessed a video go viral. This never happens to me, I am usually the one finding out about a viral video days, or even weeks, after its debut, left searching youtube for it after everyone else has already LOL’d it several thousand times.
This is especially frustrating when it comes to videos that go viral that have a ring of offense to them – – remember that Jessie girl a few months ago? The tween who recorded videos slandering…well, pretty much everyone, and then cried when people got mad at her for it? Her videos were ripped down so fast it made the internet spin. I’ll bring that up again when i discuss cyber-bullying. Point being, narcissists on the internet, with loads of free time, and access to technology ARE going to act like idiots, and give us all a reason to despise social media’s existence. These are the circumstances surrounding the latest youtube scandal – a user who went by the name TamTamPamela and spent her countless narcissistic hours self-recording to spread the word of her personal lord and savior.
Jesus Christ.
The viral video in question featured TamTamPamela grinning from ear to ear as she shook a proverbial finger at Japan’s “atheists” and chanted “told ya so, told ya so!” as she praised God for punishing them with the natural disasters. Accordin to her, the prayers of Lent were heard by God, and he went ahead and took it out on Japan.
The video, which is no longer viewable on her page (but I will repost here) has since been revealed as the work of a troll, however I don’t think that really makes it better…..
The video in an article on Gawker
Thank you, TamTamPamela, and all you other idiots in the world, who literally just love to hear yourselves speak, for ruining social media for the rest of us.
