Hello world—Anthony here wrapping up all the things that had us buzzing this past week.
In one of the funniest moments in recent social media history, someone was able to hack into the Twitter account of Burger King on Monday.
Twitter was on fire when the hacker flooded the BK timeline with McDonald’s propaganda, even going as far as to post a picture of someone doing heroin and claiming it was a BK employee.
After 1 hour and 15 minutes of McDonald’s endorsements, a shoutout to some DJ and a few random tweets, the page was suspended by Burger King and a statement was released.
“It has come to our attention that the Twitter account of the BURGER KING® brand has been hacked. We have worked directly with administrators to suspend the account until we are able to re-establish our legitimate site and authentic postings. We apologize to our fans and followers who have been receiving erroneous tweets about other members of our industry and additional inappropriate topics.”
There is no word yet on who was responsible for the hack, but I can’t help but suspect a red headed clown named Ronald had something to do with it.
Because I think it’s in God’s order that I mention Beyoncé at least once this week, Queen Bey gave the world, or at least the Bey Hive, what they’ve been dying to see when she premiered her HBO documentary “Life Is But A Dream” last Saturday.
In the hour and a half long documentary, Bey gave the world a glimpse into her life, marriage and career, which included letting the world see her daughter Blue Ivy for the first time and discussing her unknown miscarriage.
Beyoncé also sat down with Oprah to discuss what was going to be in the documentary on “Oprah’s Next Chapter,” which aired right before.
Besides seeing Blue Ivy and hearing her talk about her miscarriage, we really didn’t learn anything new about Bey, except the fact that she likes to talk to her computer, a lot. Most the documentary featured her speaking to her computer and keeping a video diary of her life for the last few years.
The fact that she still talks like a 5th grader isn’t going to help those rumors that she’s illiterate, but haters are gonna hate regardless.
As if things couldn’t get any sadder than Beyoncé’s speaking skills, country singer Mindy McCready was found dead of an apparent suicide on Monday.
This comes a little over a month after McCready’s boyfriend was also found dead after he committed suicide, followed by her losing custody of her two children.
McCready has a long history with drug and alcohol addiction, some which was revealed when she appeared on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.
After appearing on the show it was rumored that McCready relapsed several times. Maybe that was what led to her taking her own life.
Some addictions are too strong for the soul. RIP Mindy.
