What I’ll remember most about Vine is how the worst people used it to get marginally famous.

Arby’s is experimenting with a deer meat sandwich, for some reason. ... These tourist photos of New York City in 1979 are fascinating. ... UConn’s head football coach is salty as hell about the rivalry he invented. ... This student skipped class to go to the World Series and his professor was incredibly chill about it. ... Who knew poker trash talk could be so vicious?

This Has to be Staged, Right?
