Kim Kardashian's butt has even infiltrated the heavy metal world

by Mark Teo

Yesterday, even the most pop-culture averse couldn’t escape the massive gravitational pull of Kim Kardashian’s butt. Her #breaktheinternet hashtag was the second-most talked-about thing on the Twitter, only after the history-making news that scientists had landed a spacecraft on a comet. The demand for Brazilian butt lift surgery, in a single day, has reportedly spiked. And everyone from Chelsea Handler to Lorde has chimed in on dat ass, making it undoubtedly the biggest pop-culture news item of the week. (Well, that, and Diplo’s widdle baby micropenis.)

So, did a butt break the internet yesterday? Well, it came close. And it’s even infiltrated the metal world: As Metalsucks notes, British ragga-metal band Skindred—who, in Canada, are best known for their video featuring a plethora of Toronto hardcore kids—recreated their own version of the Paper Magazine photoshoot.

“Sorry Kim, you lose…. #fixtheinternet,” the band wrote in a Facebook post, attached to a photo of singer Benji Webbe’s butt. Check the image below.

So, what do you think? Does Webbe’s posterior measure up?
