Internet killed Jaden Smith — yet another viral death hoax that got our sensitive bee a little too worried; not that this mean little thing started preparing for the funeral! Instead, this one is relishing the video of two boys, dressed in bright clothes and armed with a portable speaker, dancing to Sia’s Cheap Thrills on the Delhi Metro last Thursday. If you are looking for better entertainment options, the bee has also been keeping a close eye on Modi trolls — a count of his hugs with other politicians and famous personalities!
Those of you who have the stomach for some really wacky, educational videos on building electrical contraptions, Vancouver-based electrical engineer Mehdi Sadaghdar, the man behind ElectroBOOM, is the electric (in every sense of the word) Internet sensation. And if you are still bored, well, take a look at Amir Khan’s look from Secret Superstar, which is out and about!
Face the book
Not so long ago, the bee tried sending a Bluetooth salute to an Indian bank employee, Swati Chitalkar of Pune, who got her unwell son to work and posted a viral message on Facebook. Now, this one has taken to a faster and better way of sharing, the SHAREit app, to send, Respect by Aretha Franklin, the song ovation to a yet another supermom! Oklahoma’s pregnant sports medicine physician Megan Meier posted a photo of herself on the job at a high school football game and the post went viral.
Tweet trail
Not ‘quite or quiet’, the middle class of this ‘na-mo democratic’ nation, when comedian Kapil Sharma mentions the word “tax” and “bribe”, it sends the country’s politicians in a tizzy! So much so that a viral video titled, PM Narendra Modi’s Befitting Reply To Kapil Sharma And People Like Him! by YouTube channel Viral in India has gone viral. The bee advises you to take a look at Kapil’s tweets before you watch the video.
KAPIL@KapilSharmaK9

KAPIL@KapilSharmaK9

Tube tales
Down south, a 22-year-old engineering student was allegedly beaten by a group of people for posting “derogatory” remarks on social media against Kannada film actors — whatever happened to freedom of speech!
However, for freedom of speech and expression, singer-songwriter-leatherworker Jonny Fritz, known as Jonny Corndawg, is all over the internet with his latest song I Love Leaving from the album Sweet Creep. The clip assembles some of the most outrageous images from the Internet. Also, Kajol singing Baby Doll has gone viral! We wonder why? Of all things that go viral for no reason, Donald Trump will be featured as a superhero on a 55-foot digital billboard in New York’s famous Times Square.
Designated as “Super Trump”, the animated image of the GOP presidential nominee in a Superman-like outfit will appear to soar through the air, right fist aimed forward, in a larger-than-life plea to “Make America Great Again.”
