Tinder Guys With Tigers Tumblr
A Tumblr page is growing in popularity showing men hoping to bait women into hookups on Tinder with the help of live tigers.
TinderGuysWithTigers shows men posing in various poses with tigers ranging from sitting beside them, to even faking sleep on the beasts.
Unfortunately for the dummies people who hopped on the “tiger selfie” trend, lawmakers are trying to ban the practice—-in New York at least.
State legislators in both houses have passed a bill banning people from posing for photos while hugging, patting or otherwise touching tigers in New York state.
Manhattan Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal explained that she introduced the legislation to increase safety at traveling circuses and county fairs that allow the public to get up close and personal with their big cats.
But the Upper West Side Democrat acknowledges proudly that the bill would also destroy a trend now prevalent among users of dating apps — men snuggling with tigers in reckless attempts to look brave or cuddly or, even more implausibly, both in their dating-profile photos on online services like Tinder and OKCupid.
“They can still pose with bears and monkeys,” the assemblywoman said. “They just have to take big cats off their list.”
The wacky bill puts a crimp in what has become one of the most annoying Internet memes this year.
The bizarre craze has even inspired a Tumblr blog called “Tinder Guys with Tigers” that collects ridiculous photos of men clutching at the jungle beasties.
SMH…
