Ahh, the saga of Logan Paul. The zany YouTube personality who is inexplicably insanely popular among tweens, and whose brutally efficient marketing has propelled him to make millions from online videos, fell from grace last month when he took video of a dead body in Japan‘s so-called ‘Suicide Forest’. The world can handle dumbass jock pranks, but they can’t really endorse someone making light of suicide.
He returned to YouTube last week with a new, incredibly carefully crafted PSA about suicide, and promised fans that he was going to be a “more knowledgeable, more compassionate” person going forward. It seems he has kept up his promise with his first ‘normal’ videos since the fallout, in which he… repeatedly tasers a dead rat. Yes, that is what he did.
It’s an appallingly bad 15-minute-long video I’ve just dumped on you, but just know the action starts at about 4:30 or so. Yes, that is his mansion. Yes, it cost $5.5 million. No, you will never have that much money in your life, quite probably. I’m sorry.
“No rat comes into my house without getting tased!” Logan screams, frying the motionless rat corpse with his taser, while his assistant screams “WHY?!!?!?!” It’s this new, sensitive Logan Paul who I can see achieving magnificent things, and bridging the great divide between generations.
Earlier in the video, Logan can be seen yanking koi fish from his lavish fish pond and giving them CPR to revitalise them, for some reason. I’m led to believe twelve year olds absolutely froth on this shit.
The reaction to this has been precisely what you imagine it would be:

@LoganPaul clearly hasn’t learned a lesson. Sad. Get your life together dude and do some stuff that grown ass men do. Tasers a dead rat? Are you 5?

I pray for a bountiful Logan Paul content harvest for the rest of 2018. The kid is some kind of demented genius and one day they will probably build statues of him.
