Check out some of the best,and worst, pranks we’ve seen online today.
Pranks That Made Us LOLCornhubPornhub turned its page into a SFW website approximately corn. It’s surprisingly droll; especially as you travel on to read the descriptions of the videos with titles such as “Hot Steamy Hardcore Corn” and “In Need of a tough Shucking.” Just don’t click anything.

We’re all so obsessed with virtual reality we tend to forget approximately actual reality.#AerieMANLast week, blogs and news sites were praising Aerie for featuring men of all sizes and shapes, or similar to their current campaign with women apt now.

Pranks That Made Us CringeOpentable TasteThink approximately all the germs on your phone…Gmail’s Mic DropThis got nixed before most of us even made it to work this morning. Gmail had added a “send mic drop” button on emails that would then include a gif of a minion dropping the mic. First of all,why? We love the minions, but why are they relevant apt now?Complaints soon followed the release of this button due to a bug in the system and people accidentally sending the gif to inappropriate emails. Gmail issued an apology and removed the feature.
