Burbank, CA – Thanks to a cadre of people on Twitter Monday, racist Ellen Degeneres was thwarted from spreading her divisive, white privilege message to the world when she tweeted herself riding on the back of world’s fastest man Usain Bolt. People who had gone nearly minutes without being outraged by something quickly piled a dung heap of shame on the unsuspecting Degeneres forcing her to cry and immediately become a better person.

It’s gotten to the stage where satire and actual journalism have blurred into some monstrous entity that I have to do a double take with these things. Its a mad mad mad world.

Ugh, I’m just about to shame myself but…is any of this actually true? And how on earth was that picture photoshopped? Sadly I don’t keep up with social media so I’m clueless here.
