Funny but mean things involving social media


I believe adding to social media should be approached with a reasonable amount of caution because of the fact that anything you put on can be copied by anyone who views it.  An example of this is from an article linked here about someone telling his 81 year old father that twitter was google.
 
This is an example of someone abusing trust for a joke, however being that it was on social media it was copied by others and written about, the mans father is now a source of amusement for anyone who stumbles across an article mentioning him. 
 

 
This video is of a man filming a double rainbow and is unusually excited about its brightness and clarity.  While he may have been searching for more rainbow enthusiasts, this is a video that went viral because the man who shot it ended up reaching an audience that had no idea what he was talking about, they simply found it funny.  He later attempts to explain himself in a future video, collecting far fewer views.
