Really? Going Viral isn’t the goal.

Turns out cellphones are great for some things…

They still make cameras.

Do you really want a blooper reel of you trying to catch fish..?

“to go viral”…or the modern version of what Andy Warhol once called “fifteen minutes of fame”…

There is a comedian that my husband follows on FB. Last night he showed my a video of the idiot going inner tubing down the river with his cellphone. There was obviously another idiot there as well since he was being taped. They hit some minor rapids and his phone went into the river. The guy is in his 40s! He’s not some kid who was basically born holding a phone. There is a man in the area that makes money retrieving items lost in the river and he found the comedian’s phone. Whatever case the dude was using very good. The phone still worked. I just don’t understand why you would have it out instead of watching-oh I don’t know maybe the ACTUAL!!! thing you paid money to do. It was a beautiful area that was wasted on them.

Who knew eagles loved the fame?

Be careful or they will take you off the quarters!!

It’s an interesting thought because an eagle is majestic whether anyone sees it or not.

His vanity serves him right. He failed to awe them with a catch.
