Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past week or two with no internet access – perhaps a tempting prospect given the way the world’s been going – you’ll have heard of the Mannequin Challenge.
The latest viral video craze, believed to have been started last month by students in Jacksonville, Florida, has been widely embraced by sports teams throughout the world – incuding the English and Spanish national football teams in last week’s friendly international at Wembley.

It follows other internet memes that have been embraced by the cycling world, including the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in 2014, with participants including Alberto Contador.

They say it’s going to be a guy called Ronald Reagan. An actor from the movies. At least that’ll be the stupidest thing America ever does, after that, the only way is up.

I hate to break it to you, but they only went and elected George HW Bush’s idiot son Dubya. But rest assured, there’s no possible way they could do anything dumber than that.
