Mysteries of the Modern World: Parody Twitter Accounts

Picture this- you’re browsing your Twitter feed, checking up on your small town’s first world problems and annoyances , when suddenly, curiosity strikes. What in the hay is Jay Gatsby thinking right now!? I could use some insight from a real American. Leo is really cute.   Jay Gatsby is a real person and tweets his feelings because after all, he’s an emotionally open book, right? If you were to read the book with the same title as the movie, written by some no-name author, you may notice that Leonardo DiCaprio Gatsby is a liar and a generally reckless person.  That being said, maybe his 1920s-style stance on the relationships of tweens really resonates with you, we don’t judge here.

Twitter has evolved into a really influential social network after starting as a website dedicated to Ashton Kutcher and his quirky lifestyle, if I’m not mistaken. Recently, there have been an influx of popular accounts that were made in the name of celebrities. In many cases, the purpose of these parody accounts seems to be to give young women something to retweet. While examining the psychological implications involved in such an action, I’ve come to the conclusion that many people are using  FAKE motivational accounts to instill chivalrous thoughts into their significant others. A cheeky tactic, sure, but I see right through your antics, Fill Werrell! I’m impervious to your motivational one-liners, fake Mila Kunis! I would include the Twitter handles of some of these accounts, but I don’t believe in positively advertising something that I despise with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns.

I firmly believe that these accounts are the physical manifestation of Hitler, Mussolini, and Left-Wing extremists all rolled into one. The sheer motivation behind these accounts (popularity) is something that is so annoying, that it can be taken lightly. So as my personal friend Harry Lloyd would probably say, “Parody Twitter accounts, although shallow and completely fictional, can still serve a purpose. That purpose is to be made fun of.”

Always remember, Frank Ocea(a)n wants you to treat your woman like a princess. Buy her roses when you go to her house. Never hang up first. Ignore the restraining order. Write her from prison. Girls like that, I think.
