Prime8 – the weekly GGA web roundup! 6/10/14

This week we’ve seen Donald Trump get brilliantly Twitter trolled (see below), more ‘News Of The World’ execs admit to phone-hacking, David Cameron stand up in public and lie through his teeth, and Jeremy Clarkson get stoned in Argentina (take that as you want to).

In bigger news, GGA’s Paul T has a new dining table and Kyle is selling rare Lego figures on Ebay for £30 a pop. THIS IS THE REAL NEWS PEOPLE!

 
There’s also stuff like this…
 
 
White-knuckle Vines
When we first started Prime8 we used to have a ‘Vine of the week’ section. We quickly realised that 99% of Vines are actually rubbish so we canned it. However, here’s a list of 25 of the most thrilling (i.e. actually good) Vines of all time. It also includes Instagram videos but, you know, we never had a ‘Best of Instagram’ article so… pretend it doesn’t.

Confessions from an ex-internet Troll
Here’s an enlightening, therapeutic, confessional offload from an ex-internet Troll. It doesn’t excuse the existence of these eejits but does go someway to explaining the rational behind this most modern of bullying.
