Local News Catches a Near "Accident" on Camera in an Effort to Create News
This totally believable "near miss" was caught on camera by Utah's Fox 13 news station. The piece was reporting on the crosswalk by a bridge that motorists tend to ignore and drive right through, or in this case come to a complete stop and start driving again as soon as a pedestrian walks by. According to a Reddit user who claims to drive by that area often there is a pedestrian bridge just out of frame so it's not as if pedestrians in the area are out of options. Seems like they were just having a slow news day. Maybe they should investigate that criminal in the van who goes around waiting to hit pedestrians?

Announcement of The Day: Instagram Model Quits Social Media in Spectacular Fashion
One "social media celebrity" is quitting social media because she says she had become consumed.
18-year-old Australian model and vegan YouTuber Essena O'Neill is quitting social media and launching a campaign to help others who want to make the change themselves.
This might seem trivial, but for someone who made thousands of dollars through social media—her career is now in jeopardy.
And she had a lot of followers:
Essena O'Neill, from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, had over 574,000 Instagram followers, more than 250,000 subscribers on YouTube and around 60,000 dedicated Snapchat contacts when she decided to give up her life as a 'social media celebrity'.
In her final YouTube video, O'Neil describes why she is quitting social media.
"I put my value in numbers, not real life people, moments or my natural passions of art, writing...Posting on Instagram consumed me," she wrote.
"We are not followers, we are beings of individuality and love. I have never felt so free."
She said she is leaving her Instagram and YouTube accounts up as documentation of her journey. She even started changing Instagram captions to reveal the truth about sponsored posts and highly edited photos.
Instead of using popular social media platforms, O'Neill has set up a website and blog, letsbegamechangers.com, where she will continue to interact with fans and share her content.
Her first challenge to users? Go social media free for one week.
Could you do it?
