So much apparent sarcasm in the face of such a tragic loss.

The two images were posted this evening to Twitter by @Nudah and the whole internet winced in unison at the embarrassment as they went crazy viral. The actual origins of the exchange are still a mystery – but it’s reminded everyone that emojis are a dangerous game and should only be used by the experts.

A warning for us all.
