Social media moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.  In order to help you keep up, the team here at SME Digital has distilled the biggest stories of the past week into one easy to digest chunk.

As expected, the release of the new iPhone 6 dominated the headlines, but not for the reasons that you might suspect.  Joan Rivers sang it’s accolades from beyond the grave while shockingly gullible new owners saw their shiny new toy go up in smoke thanks to the new iOS8 Wave recharging feature. Apple has already pulled the first update for iOS8 after users complained about the feature which disables cellular communication. After attempting to see if their new iPhone 6 Plus will bend [spoiler alert: it does!], owners have been shamed into exchanging bent phones for the new Blackberry Passport.

After taking some serious heat for their Vintage Kent State Sweatshirt, Urban Outfitters quickly pulled their entire “vintage” Islamic State line.

Just like a real-life version of the Reno Sheriff’s Department, the Reykjavik Metropolitan Police Force in Iceland has plenty of time to post adorable pictures of  porn ‘staches, kittens and cops eating cotton candy on their Instagram page.

It is unknown if John Cuzack and Cameron Diaz were busy Being John Malkovich when the multi-faceted actor teamed with artist Sandro Miller to disturbingly recreate 30 iconic pop-culture images.

Facebook outraged the LGBT community as they deactivated hundreds of drag queen profiles as part of their “real name standard”. (I am outraged because I can’t figure out how to deactivate “facebook drag queens” from my Google search history.)

Keeping with their tradition of being heartless, via an auto-responder Facebook initially rejected a father’s promoted post urging donations needed for his infant son’s heart transplant. After Facebook corrected their “mistake”, the family raised over $130K for the procedure and baby Hudson is resting comfortably with his new heart.

In this week’s biggest bait and switch, the promise of leaked stolen Emma Watson nude photos turned out to be a ploy to #shutdown4chan, forcing thousands to settle for “leaked” nude photographs of Kim Kardashian.

Inspired by fans’ social conversation around music and fashion during this year’s Fashion Rocks event, famed designer Christian Siriano created a unique #socialimprint fabric which proves that 8-bit fashion never goes out of style.

Finally, the “high”light of the week goes to Alaskan news reporter, Charlo Greene, who quits her job and drops the F-bomb on live TV after revealing that she was an owner of the medical marijuana facility that the station just ran an exposé on.
