@kingzehn, a well-known TikToker, is facing controversy as a video posted to his channel went viral for the deliberate and cruel pranking of several Walmart employees.

The videos showed him donning a suit and approaching the anxious employees to tell them they'd been "let go."

"Can I check with my team lead first?" most of the anxious employees immediately asked. When they found out it was just a prank, hardly any of them laughed.

Immediately, people responded that this kind of joke wasn't funny at all—it was closer to psychological torture than anything else.

After the revelation that he was joking, most workers shared that they were completely panicked.

"This is kind of random, having a guy come up saying that they have to let me go, you know?" said one of the workers. The look on his face when it was revealed as a joke was also something else.

People's objections stemmed from the fact that the year has seen the biggest labor re-examination in the past 100 years. So when people are so desperate to be working at a minimum wage job such as Walmart, that is an extreme state.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
