Well, they literally asked for it!

The Internet Gods have spoken: we have been overdue for another stupid social media privacy hoax. This time around, boomers and the technologically ignorant are concerned about their already non-existent privacy on image-sharing site Instagram.The post claims that deleted photos and messages will be made public unless the "memo" is shared. The message is laughable, but the masses are pretty damn gullible where privacy is concerned. To make matters worse, celebrities and politicians such as Rick Perry (The US Secretary of Energy...) and Usher have been sharing the bogus spam as well. Instagram and Twitter users with a bit more of their wits about them have been using this opportunity to roast their share-happy peers via memes and exasperated tweets - and the results are pretty fricken' funny.
We love a good roast as much as the next person, and r/RoastMe really never fails to deliver in the schadenfreude department. We've rounded up some of the freshest and funniest roasts from the subreddit so you can mock these masochists without doing any work. You're welcome.
It's no secret that Fox News often gets roasted on the internet - this time they've come under fire for publishing a news headline that reads, "Trump cuts U.S. aid to 3 Mexican countries," which of course signifies a pretty substantial geographical flaw.
They've since apologized for the mistake, but that certainly hasn't stopped the internet from roasting them!
Jimmy's Famous Seafood decided to live on the wild side over the past few days and go completely off the rails with their official business Twitter account. They started out taunting PETA with pics of their food and went on to savagely roast random people who dared comment on the tweets. Whoever's in charge of Jimmy's social media accounts sure was feeling pretty darn sassy!

One of our favorite hobbies is making fun of the wealthy, as you can see from this huge selection of Fyre Fest memes. As mocking the rich goes, though, we have a new hero. Twitter user @ClueHeywood went ham a few weeks ago on Peloton bikes, their absurd advertising, and the people who actually own said bougie bikes. The indoor exercise bicycles cost about $2,000 - a pretty penny, making it low-hanging fruit while roasting the 1%. It's safe to say we'll never own a Peloton, but it's probably more fun to make fun of them than to exercise on 'em.
The newest scandal involving rapper 21 Savage was arguably more exciting than the Super Bowl on Sunday. If you haven't heard, 21 Savage was arrested on Sunday morning in Atlanta by ICE, with allegations that the rapper is actually a British citizen and is residing illegally in the US. Memers have been relentlessly making fun of 21 Savage, joking that his lyrics seem less...shall we say, foreboding now that we know this information?
Ariana Grande is getting roasted hard for the newest addition to her tattoo collection. On Tuesday, the singer posted a photo on Instagram of the tattoo on her palm, which supposedly reads "seven rings" in Japanese in honor of her latest single of the same name. Only, Japanese speakers on social media started noticing that the tattoo doesn't actually say "seven rings," but rather "Japanese-style barbecue grill" due to a terrible translation fail.
Following the backlash, Grande deleted her Instagram post and attempted to "fix" the tattoo with the help of her Japanese tutor by adding another character and a heart symbol. Unfortunately, this time around the tattoo reads "Japanese barbecue finger <3" which is arguably a lot worse than the original. Might be time to find a better tutor, Ariana. Sigh.
Oh boy, here we go again! We brought you some memes courtesy the measles outbreak in Washington state just the other day, but since then anti-vax groups everywhere have been going wild trying to figure out how to protect their kids from getting the measles. Ironic, isn't it? This woman posted in an anti-vax group wondering the same thing and Facebook commenters did not hold back on their savage sass. Check out some more Anti-Vax comments in groups to be thoroughly entertained.
