To not get what this has to do with Caroline Flack?!

Have been getting tagged in lots of FB posts with photos of the poster pouting at the camera saying:

The news of Caroline Flack has been so devastating.... 😢

Let's do this for Caroline Flack 💔
#ChallengeAccepted 😍 #24hours
(If I didn't tag you, please don't be offended, I tried to pick people who I thought would take part).
All too often, some women find it easier to criticize each other or themselves instead of building each other up, with all the negativity going around, lets do something positive!!
Because you are beautiful!! 😘
Upload 1 picture of yourself... ONLY you.
Then tag 25 or more gorgeous women to do the same. Build yourself up instead of tearing yourself down ❤️COPY AND PASTE
If I tagged you, don't disappoint me.

How on earth does posting a pic of yourself and desperately fishing for compliments help Caroline Flack or anyone else?! The way people respond to a tragedy by creating another hashtag bandwagon is so appalling!

Pothole Shock wtf were they thinking?!

I think 'don't be a dick', especially on social media, is a much more specific positive message than 'be kind'.

Sagrada I don't think they were thinking anything more nuanced than "vicious murderer might have been mentally ill therefore we must #BeKind".

Emotional depth of a teaspoon...
