So someone sent Billy Ray a picture of his "grandfather" asking him to retweet it because it was his Grandfather's birthday and hes a huge fan. Cyrus honoured the request and retweeted the picture. Unfortunately the picture was of Jimmy Savile, who for those of you who don't know, was a very popular entertainer and DJ in Britain in the 1960s-80s. He was also a tireless campaigner for charity and was Knighted before he died a few years ago. However, since his death he's been accused of some pretty horrific abuse claims, mostly involving children but also necrophilia. There's actually about 500 separate claims involving him at the last count. This just after someone got Donald Trump to retweet a pic of his "Grandparents" which turned out to be notorious serial killers Fred and Rose West. Now, this will make it harder for people genuinely trying to get celebrities to retweet various causes and raise their profile. And regardless of your opinion of these people (I personally think Trump is a skidmark on the underpants of society), it's probably unfair to mislead them in this way. Still funny as f*** though! link |

How do people keep falling for this in 2014? Or catfishing, for that matter?
It's called Google Image Search, people.

Is this the new trend.... Tricking moron celebrities to RT pictures of horrible people? Think we could get I dunno a certain former Alasken govener to RT a picture of Dorothea Puente... Saying she is a sick grandmother or something. I'm joking of course  |

Someone should send a picture of Benito Mussolini to Nicki Minaj and say "Nicki, this was my grandad Ben. Please RT because he was a war hero and today is the anniversary of his death during the East African campaigns"

This is how you determine which celebrities know how the internet works.

Lol epic fail. It reminds me of when Hogan retweeted the balls deep comment I find no fault in Cyrus retweeting this request, because how in the hell was he supposed to know who a UK celebrity that turned out to be pure shit is? Hogan retweeting the balls deep in Brooke thing was truly stupid, though. How in the hell did he not guess what in the hell that meant even if he had never heard the phrase before? |
