News Anchor Becomes An Accidental Viral Sensation After Station Randomly Tweets His Bio

News Anchor Becomes An Accidental Viral Sensation After Station Randomly Tweets His Bio
KTVB

Technology is seriously weird sometimes, especially with social media.

Posts we scheduled don't actually post, or we never receive notifications.


But one of the stranger phenomenons has to be when something gets posted that we never meant to see the light of day.

That's probably how Idaho news station KTVB felt after they had an "oops" on their Twitter account.

What probably happened was a staff member was updating information on their website and accidentally shared the update on their Twitter account. But whatever the cause, the results were random and hilarious.

Quite to the confusion of the rest of Twitter, KTVB posted the biography of one of their news anchors, Mark Johnson, while simply writing his name as the headline.

Above the link to the biography, it simply read:

"Mark Johnson."

Mark Johnson himself replied to the post, expressing the same confusion the rest of Twitter felt.

"Uh... This is awesome? And... huh?"
"This is pretty hilarious, but I'm pretty sure my twin daughters had something to do with this."
"All I can say is that I WILL get them back for this! (But probably not.)"

Twitter quickly became overrun with the words "Mark" and "Johnson."




And Mark Johnson surely got a little pick-me-up from all the praise he received for being Mark Johnson.



Not to mention the rapid creation of new Mark Johnson memes.

Later, Mark Johnson commented again, questioning his strange 15 minutes of fame.

"I'm simultaneously dying [laughing] right now, and fearing that this is the extent of my 15 minutes of internet fame."
"Go Mark Johnson, I guess?"

This surely wasn't what KTVB was planning to do on a Wednesday.

If this was his moment in the limelight, at least he can say it was fun.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

Videos Of Squirrels Trying To 'Vape' Are Going Viral—And We Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
