It was the twerk heard round the world, until Jimmy Kimmel Live revealed it was a giant hoax, then it became the twerk heard round the universe. <br /><br />The video, which shows an attractive blonde girl accidentally setting herself on fire while attempting to twerk, instantly went viral.<br /><br />The video was first released last week when it was posted to a YouTube account belonging to "Caitlin Heller". <br /><br />Seasoned cynics would have questioned why there was only one video uploaded to the account, but most people (ahem, reporters) just wanted to get the story out first.<br /><br />Of course, once the truth about the video was out everyone began to over analyze what this said about our society. <br /><br />Some people thought Kimmel did a good job of reflecting all that is wrong with the internet, while others felt betrayed by this hoax.<br /><br />I mean, how can you trust all this "cute kitty" videos or "people falling into train tracks and getting saved at the last minute" videos? <br /><br />Now we'll have to look at the media with a critical eye, and not believe everything we see. Thanks a lot, Jimmy Fallon. <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
