Predictions
Our panelists predict, after MySpace, what will be the next social media scandal.
PETER SAGAL, HOST:
Now, panel, what will be the next social media scandal? Adam Burke.
ADAM BURKE: A glitch will cause Instagram to turn off every filter on every picture, causing an entire generation to stare directly into the unvarnished face of reality.
(LAUGHTER)
BURKE: The sound of their screams will be deafening.
(APPLAUSE)
SAGAL: Sounds bad. Negin Farsad.
NEGIN FARSAD: Because of a malfunction, Tinder accidentally mixes up swiping right for swiping left, leaving a bunch of people to date who are actually good for one another.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: And Mo Rocca.
MO ROCCA: It will be revealed that Friendster, the once mighty social network, is a communications tool for Quaker gangsters.
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
CHIOKE I'ANSON: And if any of that happens, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.
SAGAL: Thank you, Chioke I'Anson.
(APPLAUSE)
SAGAL: Thanks also to Adam Burke, Negin Farsad and Mo Rocca. Thanks to all of you for listening. I'm Peter Sagal. We'll be back with you next week.
(APPLAUSE)
