Brazilians kill more people on Twitter.
This time, David Guetta was murdered by Twitter users in the US. Their creativity propelled the death of the DJ and producer of hits for Rihanna and the Black Eyed Peas to the Trending Topics.
Diego Iraheta_247 – Brazilians have a murderous instinct on social media. They enjoy gratuitous violence against international celebrities. The latest victim is DJ David Guetta, responsible for hits like “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas and “Who’s That Chick?” by Rihanna. His death was confirmed by thousands of Brazilian Twitter users late last night. The buzz surrounding the French house producer propelled DAVID GUETTA DIED to Trending Topics on Twitter in the country.
According to creative sources, Guetta was involved in a fatal car accident. The link to images of the tragedy, retweeted thousands of times, actually shows a photo of the main character from the classic film The Exorcist (1973), by William Friedkin. Besides Guetta, Brazilians have already "killed" artists like Britney Spears, Eminem, and Mick Jagger on Twitter.
The rumor gained traction last night with the support of the popular and sarcastic @HugoGloss, followed by over 636 people. Twitter users continue trolling (a term meaning 'to provoke') this Thursday, which ends up generating doubts. “They're saying David Guetta died, how awful! Does anyone know?”, asks @rodaika. “No way David Guetta died?????????”, exclaims @IsabelaaFreitas.
That's a lie, Isabela! Abroad, foreigners already know about Brazilians' reputation for cold-blooded murder in the virtual world. According to @Toms_Lover from Portugal, "Brazilian people are funny. They like to kill people." In Canada, @phillycheesedip already got the joke: "David Guetta died... So apparently Brazilian people have killed David."
The creativity of Brazilian Twitter users goes beyond the Saw movies. They launched a campaign against cancer using the hashtag #fiukcomeupelanza (a reference to Fábio Júnior's son and the lead singer of the band Restart), in July, which became one of the most talked-about topics in the world.read moreBrazilians have also tried to save a very rare bird using the hashtag #CALABOCAGALVAO (Shut up, chicken). Just another way to troll the world by making fun of the country's most popular game commentator.
