A moob-ing tribute

Trolling people on social media is usually seen as one of Internet’s worst banes, but once in a while trolling can be a good thing — as happened over the past couple of days when a British tabloid asked its users to send in their “breast cleavage snaps for chance to win £1k”.

While that itself was a sitting duck for trolls around the world — who began tweeting images of topless men with man-boobs and even butt-cracks — a surprising number of them came from our proud army of Twitter trolls in India. Users from the country uploaded hilarious entries to the contest that included a number of Bollywood celebrities and personalities, as well as photoshopped heads of themselves on women’s bodies.

The user Maithun (@Being_Humor) uploaded a photo of Mithun Chakraborty in a deep V-neck tee shirt and wrote, “@TheSun I want to win. Pls RT (sic),” while another replied to that with topless photos of Mithun and added, “This is on behalf of @Being_Humor , we want him to win.”

Other ‘entries’ to the contest included photos of Baba Ramdev, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Tusshar Kapoor and even one of Shakti Kapoor that itself has been a popular meme in the country’s online circles.

We’re guessing that even if one of them wins, none of the celebrities really need the extra £1,000 pounds (Except maybe Tusshar Kapoor).
