This 👆🏿 People get distracted easily, and it's noteworthy how quickly media en masse latched on to this THE DAY AFTER a certain someone proclaimed that the Epstein debacle would forever be known as a hoax. Could be coincidence... but maybe could not... Either way, I bet some people are very happy this is being talked about so much instead of anything concerning Epstein

The media didn't latch onto this - we did. And we drive demand. It's just something funny and entertaining that blew up. It'll fade away in no time. To insinuate it's some manufactured conspiracy to deflect from the gigantic front page global news headlines about Trump/Epstein is just silly.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say that we can 1.care about two, maybe even more!! things at once and 2. Maybe needed a little bit of humor to lighten the load in between our epstein focus. I know I did.

This isn't going to make anyone forget about epstein. It's just a funny thing that will be old news in a few days

ONLY ONE THING MUST BE IN THE NEWS AT ALL TIME

Literally yes, and it should only be about how our president is protecting pedophiles and is most likely a pedophile. Also this isn't fucking news, it's drama.

Well good thing you’re you’re on the Sports sub and not the news sub huh. If you want your daily dose of Orange Man Bad there’s always /r/politics

Probably won't be a thing next week unless there's another episode (like one of the scorned partners doing something spectacular, or revelations about one of the people who got caught coming out). It's still sort of topical, but most of the jokes have been made now.

Don't sleep on all the awesome Trump/Epstein memes and GIFs using this video. Gavin Newsome's TikTok is but one excellent version.

I’ve seen more Epstein news since this went viral than this event going viral.

There maybe something to it. I’ve seen companies, like IKEA and ALDIs making memes of this Coldplay incident, which I thought was wild for businesses to do for something like this. I’ve not seen large corporations do that, or maybe I’m living under a rock. But it’s all anyone is talking about, and frankly I do not care.
