I was still awake late last night and into the morning. Before going to bed, I checked Twitter and saw this Tweet.

I did a doubletake. It sounded like a Kanye tweet, the tone was spot on. If I didn’t know the author, I probably would have accepted it as genuine.

But the author was Octopus Caveman. Legendary Twitter humorist and artist. This was one of his performance art satire pieces. I knew it was joke, but the world didn’t.

Octopus Caveman later announced in a sub-tweet that the post was satire and not from Kanye West. For millions of others on Twitter who were unwilling to scroll down a little bit it looked genuine.

Didn’t matter. The Tweet went viral.
