Caption This

With D-Day coming up its time to reflect on the many momentous earth shaking events that changed the world and shaped the times. The consequences of these events reverberate across time as do the words of the leaders that put them into motion, but until now mankind was lacking a very important tool for documenting these sort of moments. I am of course referring to instagram. Just imagine captioning the mushroom cloud over Hiroshima, or the brains flying out of JFK's head. What sort of witty remarks could people set against the backdrop of Normandy or Gettysburg? Also what would the world leaders at the time have tweeted? After the massacre of Polish officers in the Katayn forest would Stalin have said: "Massacring surrendering forces? Kind of a dick move Adolph" and would Hitler have responded with: "Haters will make up lies about you to try and bring you down, but don't stop pushing. Deutschland uber alles!"
