For those of you who don’t know, Ben Carson is one of the leading Republican candidates for the presidential nomination. The media never really paid attention to the retired neurosurgeon until he started talking about his crazy theories – particularly the one about the Egyptian pyramids being built for grain storage by Joseph (yes, Joseph from the Bible) instead of tombs for Pharaohs. Following that statement, people took to social media and got #BenCarsonWikipedia trending. The hashtag accompanies a bunch of different “theories” making fun of Ben Carson’s original theories.
I mean, any publicity is good publicity, right Doctor?
