Tweet About Bermuda Olympic Team Goes Viral
[Written by Don Burgess]
If you ask any non-resident what they know about Bermuda, they will normally say either the Triangle or our shorts.
Practically every Olympic Opening Ceremony recognizes our island for wearing Bermuda shorts, but for Paris, the focus was on the Triangle.
Buzzfeed News, in an article entitled ‘The 38 funniest jokes about the Olympics Opening Ceremony,’ Bermuda became a meme.
A tweet about our Olympic team by @iamshanereaction became a viral sensation, garnering more than 1.4 million views and 41,000 likes. The tweet, which humorously references the Bermuda Triangle, shows the squad on an opening ceremony boat with the caption “First time they’ve been on a boat that hasn’t disappeared #Olympics”.
