Cancer survivor: "I am more than a meme, I am a father, husband, survivor..."

Stop the memes about this... Have you ever wondered if you or someone you care about would be so lucky to survive. We need all the humors in life and we also have to be watchful of what we joke with/about.

The meme, called Meth Curry, highlighted Mr Mitchell's likeness to American basketball player Stephen Curry, and compared his appearance with the gaunt body of a long-time methamphetamine user. The photo used was taken while he was undergoing chemotherapy. It was widely shared and went viral on social media. Mitchell who is the founder of KNOE Clothing took to his Instagram page yesterday, January 6, to hit back in a heartfelt post.

"So earlier today I was the butt of a not so funny meme "METH CURRY" directed at the outward physical appearance that I display," he wrote.

"The fact that the meme was posted was a reminder of how distasteful and cruel people can be without background knowledge of the person in the bullseye of the target. I've struggled deeply for years with the devastating effects cancer treatment plagued my body with. The massive destruction it took on my neck, shoulders, nose, throat, and ability to function normally. I am strong enough to endure these attacks after years of rebuilding. However as we look at the power story I explain, let's remember these types of social media attacks on people can be massively detrimental to some who still battle with insecurities and uncomfortability with themselves and their battles. If we are going to allow something like this go viral Let's do it for the right reasons!

And he concluded:

"I am more then a meme, I am a father, husband, survivor, mentor, community advocate, and positive motivational speaker. Proud to have endured and conquered everything I have!"

Donald Trump Threatens U.K...investments!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump Organization responded yesterday by saying that if the billionaire businessman is denied entry into the UK, they will cancel $1 billion in planned investments in two golf courses they own in Scotland.

"Blocking Trump from the country would force The Trump Organization to immediately end these and all future investments we are currently contemplating in the United Kingdom," Trump Organization lawyer said in a statement to Fox News.

This is not the first time the UK will ban famous Americans. Rapper Tyler the Creator, anti-Islam activist Pamela Geller and radio host Michael Savage have all been denied entry into the UK over comments they made. But with Trump, UK Prime Minister, David Cameron says even though he does not support what Trump said, he also doesn't support him being banned from the country .

Twitter/Katy Perry: first person to reach 80m followers on twitter

Forbes declared Katy Perry the top-earning star of 2015 having raked in $135 million in the last year alone, but wonder woman hasn't stopped there. She has taken over twitter too. The roar hit maker now has more followers on twitter than anyone else with 80.4million followers.

She's however got Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift hot on her heels with 72.9 million and 68.8 million followers respectively.

She thinks one of the reasons she has amassed this many followers is because she writes most of her tweets herself, She said recently: 'I would say 90 per cent of my Tweets, I've just made them up and you can tell because many of them are misspelled and full of typos.

'But the other five per cent is work related or it's just to keep people in the know about where I'm playing or if I'm doing a show and I always get really confused.'

Despite being so popular on the microblogging site, Katy insists she likes to detach herself from the virtual space. Asked if she replies to her fans on Twitter, she said: 'Sometimes I do, I kind of do a lot more of it when I'm in the zone mode.

'Right now I'm in a relaxed, chilled vacationing zone, I've got my spanx on and I'm just taking a little break ...
'I think I have to find that balance between Tweeting too much and plus I have so many followers that nobody really wants me to fill up their timeline.'
