There's an Instagram account and Tumblr with the tagline "They have more money than you, and this is what they do." I'm sure few people realize the following, so allow me to break the news: there are people in this world who are ridiculously wealthy. Those people have kids. They have teens and tweens. Those kids use social media. While you're reeling from the truth, I'll add that some of the aforementioned rich kids use social media to rub your nose in their private jets and Dom Perignon. Their Instagram account isn't just average. Perish the thought. It's equipped with elaborate, solid gold frames for every square shot.
Yet there's a group of kids in Romania who have something to say in response. Under the hashtag "DistractieCuBaniPutini," which translates to "LittleMoneyBigFun" in English (and, oddly enough, was started by Kentucky Fried Chicken), these kids parody the rich kids of Instagram in a way that keeps it light and never bitter. After all, acting out on social media seems to be a current global, first-world, teenage right of passage, which is certainly not limited to those with privilege. Visit the links above to check out the rich kids and their parodists.

I was exposed to RKoI from its start, but had no idea it had gotten so big. While it does not tickle my funny bone, at least it explains what happened to Regretsky.
