The Internet Is Divided Over This Viral Yet Extremely Morbid Snapchat

There is one thing that always follows a viral picture: the controversy about the viral picture, which threatens to tear the internet asunder and condemn every person who liked, shared or commented on the original pic.

Today’s entry is a true doozy – entirely unconfirmed Snapchat screenshots of someone doing a classic ‘THAT’S ME’ to a sleeping person before realising the person they said was ‘me’ was in fact, uh, dead.

That tweet, and the hundreds of ripoff tweets / Facebook posts / absurdly pixellated Instagram screenshots has raised absolute hell, with people firmly divided between two camps: ‘that’s funny’ and ‘my god that is not funny at all, not remotely’.

But here’s the thing: the internet doesn’t care. The internet – which increasingly seems like it was a mistake – does not care for base morality when it decides to send something viral.

(Note that absolutely nothing about this Snapchat is confirmed to be true or not. Nothing.)
