"Barraco Barner" Dissenter Goes Through Stages of Grief
Gemma Worrall, a beautician from Blackpool, England, took to Twitter this week to air her grievances against "our president Barraco Barner" for getting involved in Russia. What happened next won't surprise you at all, not even a little bit.
The offending tweet has since been retweeted over 6,000 times. Here's a screengrab of Worrall exchanging political lessons with a companion in Blackpool.
The result of the media attention (her gaffe has been covered in The Daily Mirror, The Telegraph, and The Huffington Post, among others) on the young politico has taken its inevitable toll. Worrall shifted early this week from lighthearted confusion about the response to deep questioning over the meaning of life.
It all began on March 2nd, before the inspiring tweet was ever shared.

If only Worrall had known that her fluctuating taste for peas could never compare to what was up next.
Do not appreciate how far everyone is taking my tweet

Or does she appreciate it?
At least my tweet is being shared around the world

A classic diversion tactic:

Worrall prepares her family's future.
To all the haters, big thankyou for all your retweets and comments I can proudly announce my first 'breed' will be named #barracobarner

By the next day, it was still unclear if Worrall knew that Barraco Barner was neither president of the U.K., nor the U.S.
why am I waking up to shit loads of mentions because i spelt the presidents name wrong, worlds gone crazy.

Existential questioning began to settle in within only a day's time.
Don't think I'll ever understand what's gone on here
— Gemma Worrall (@gemworrallx) March 4, 2014
And just as fast, Worrall's life returned back to normal.

There's been no official response yet from real U.S. president Barack Obama, nor a contributing statement from the U.K.'s Prime Minster Dayvick Enron. Perhaps John Travolta has some thoughts?
