Digital Drama: Cyberbully An ABC Family TV movie premiered this week featuring a teenage girl who becomes a victim of cyberbullying after joining a social network site. The movie was filled to the brim with hyperbolic scenarios and coming-of-age melodrama, culminating in an absurd suicide attempt where the protagonist fails because she cannot remove the child proof cap on a prescription bottle. It has already become the subject of several parodies, many of which reference being unable to remove caps. Image Macro: Guido Jesus A photograph of a muscular tanned man with long-flowing hair became a hit on Reddit after he was dubbed "Guido Jesus" and captioned with the text "Water into wine? How 'bout water into Patrón." The photograph was turned into what is called an "advice animal" series with a slew of stereotype jokes depicting him as a strange combination of Jesus and various Jersey Shore stereotypes, e.g., Guido Jesus may turn the other cheek, but it's just to make sure his tan is even. Anonymous Update: Hacks, Arrests and More Lulz Hacking stories, hacking stories everywhere this week! The hacker group Lulzsec, who recently announced their disband last month, suddenly returned to work this Monday, bringing down the homepage of UK daily The Sun and posted a fake news story that its legally embattled CEO Rupert Murdoch has died of overdosing on Palladium (a rare metallic chemical).

Meanwhile in Argentina: Tano Pasman, the Angry Soccer Fan Fact #1: South American soccer fans are not to be messed with.

Fact #2: People on the Internet love to watch people rant.

El "Tano" Pasman is an Argentinian man who became a viral video star in early June after his family uploaded a homemade video of him passionately yelling and cursing at the TV while watching a soccer game between the prestigious River Plate and the B-league underdogs Belgrano. To everyone's surprise, the game ended with the underdogs' victory and River Plate moving down to the B-league for the first time, infuriating thousands of Plate supporters at the stadium as well as diehard fans like Pasman watching the game at home.

Since being uploaded onto YouTube on July 8th, the angry soccer fan's hilariously vulgar rant reached over 7 million views in three weeks and spawned a video remix fad that involves dubbing his rantings over some of the saddest scenes and moments from popular films and TV shows, like Mufasa's death in Lion King.
