Over the weekend, the world was delighted to meet 'Chewbacca Mask Lady', a Texan woman with the birth name, Candace Payne. A video of her enjoying a child's STAR WARS toy in a Kohl's parking lot has now gone viral, but not in a cruel way, but in a way that has made the whole world smile. Since the video has gone viral, Candace has received attention from Kohl's, Disney, and countless talk shows. Her video has surfaced on multiple news networks, and you would be unfortunate if it didn't show up on your Facebook feed. Overall, this is being called the "most iconic viral video" as instead of humiliation, a women is making the world a happier place.
This can relate to the very start and spread of social media, and the creation of the internet in general in the 90s. The internet was a new thing and for many it was a corporate tool however, no one expected it to be the powerhouse source it is today. The creation of the internet has started careers for some many people, including Justin Bieber, multiple Disney stars, Vine celebrities and our very own, Chewbacca Mask Lady.
All in all, the world is just a little better with the internet, and Chewbacca Lady is no exception.
