Leate_WonceslaceI don’t know if I should be more proud or disgusted that I was able to parse that entire thing.
radicalautonomyMy favorite piece of text from a few years ago that I was disgusted to be able to parse was “Shrimp cereal Topanga husband is a Me Too milkshake duck.”
Maybe it’s because I’m slipping into a migraine, but I’m going to need that one explained to me.
Danielle Fishel, the actress who played the character Topanga Lawrence on the show Boy Meets World, is married to a comedian named Jensen Karp who tweeted that he found shrimp tails in his box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
After his tweet went viral, [writer Melissa Stetten alleged that he was an abuser(vox.com/…/what-is-a-milkshake-duck-definition-exp…) and stated that other women had reached out to share their own allegations against Karp with her.
Karp being a “milkshake duck” refers to a June 2016 tweet from Aussie cartoonist Ben Ward which read
The whole internet loves Milkshake Duck, a lovely duck that drinks milkshakes! 5 seconds later We regret to inform you the duck is racist
It gave a name to the phenomenon of seemingly harmless individuals’ sordid pasts being called out after a brief brush with fame.
Good lord well done 👏
