We wrote about these "Who Killed Hannibal" memes last week, but we did not expect the format to take off the way it has. The meme, in which Eric Andre appears to have murdered Hannibal Burress, has even taken a somewhat political turn.

We've been talking a lot about how Russia was involved with the 2016 election, but what about how Russia was involved in the Russian election?

Kellyanne Conway opened herself up to some serious photoshop ridicule during her Wednesday FOX news appearance. To squash the belief that Donald Trump Jr. had colluded with Russia, Conway held up two pieces of paper reading "Conclusion? Collusion" and "Illusion, Delusion."
While the flashcards haven't been particularly successful at disproving anything, they do make a fantastic meme template. In the words of Adam Downer, associate editor at Know Your Meme, "He who holdeth a white sign shall become a meme for a time." Take note, Kellyanne.

Via Sokolovsky!
This August Ruslan Sokolovsky recorded himself while playing Pokémon GO inside Church of All Saints in Yekaterinburg, after having been made aware such activity within the church could result in jail time...
“How can one offend by entering a church with a smartphone?” Sokolovsky asked. “I decided to just catch some Pokemon in church because, why not? I believe it’s both safe and not prohibited by law. Let’s go.”
Well, fast forward to after Sokolovsky posted the video he was investigated by police, and shortly thereafter charged with inciting hatred and offending religious sensibilities. He's being detained for two months, and stands to face up to five years in jail.
What do you guys think, does the punishment fit the crime here?
