I don't know.

#Bald4Bieber was funny, #Cutting4Bieber was legitimately malicious. #PitBullDropOff is actually closer to that happy medium of harmless-but-humiliating, even if it is pretty amateurish and clearly based on shock value. Ultimately this is just back-to-the-basics trolling: making an outlandish claim and tricking people into believing it.
