We're not sure if we love or hate how completely ridiculous these Star Wars shitposts are, but we're going to let you be the judge. We're still busy being amazed that the terrible prequel films have been reborn in meme form. We're here for it.

The internet has been pretty freaking weird the past few days. Tom Brady making out with his son, Liam Neeson's racism confessions, and then yesterday Sunny D went viral for tweeting about depression. The orange-flavored beverage brand tweeted "I can't do this anymore" and the entire internet seemed to step up to provide support, with brands (like Moon Pie) and concerned citizens sending wholesome messages. The exchange is very entertaining.
While we're having fun with it, this marketing tactic is not without its critics. Food website Eater was quick to denounce not only Sunny D's tweet, but trying to gain brand clout by posting vague and bleak messages. Many people agreed that the practice was decidedly uncute. While we are into brands embracing "weird Twitter," depression is not a joke, and maybe they should put a little more thought in their tweets.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani stoked our President's ire on Sunday after warning our country not to "play with the lion's tail"or we would regret it. Rouhani added that "Peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars." These threatening words did not sit well with President Trump, who took to Twitter with the following impassioned response:
"To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!"
The tweet's aggressive style, while possibly warranted after Rouhani's foreboding speech, was eaten up by Twitter personalities and quickly became a Twitter meme. It's proven to be the perfect vehicle for popular copypastas, such as Rick Rolls and the famous Liam Neeson Taken speech. World War III may be on the horizon, but at least we've got something to laugh about. Right? Right guys??
