Ridiculous

Ever since an initial post on Reddit showing a Bugatti Veyron vandalized with a graffiti dong, the Internet has been buzzing. But lo and behold, for the first time in recorded history, an image on the internet has been proven to be fake.

Maybe fake isn’t the right word, actually. The car really did get spray-painted with a phallus, but it was washable paint, and was part of a viral marketing ploy by TwinzTV, a YouTube channel specializing in “prank” videos allegedly found funny by at least three people not related to the Twinz by blood. The ploy was revealed when Instagram user andreysmygov posted these photos.
