Of course, when people start trending, it typically brings up parts of their past, and they continue to trend. Reports say that Allen’s participation in a 1978 drug trafficking scheme was mentioned on Twitter in addition to being arrested for possession of more than 650 grams of cocaine. He was released on parole in 1981 after serving two years in the Federal Correctional Institution in Sandstone, Minnesota. So, he’s definitely worth the talk online! So, needless to say, he just kept trending beyond the death hoax.

“I saw Tim Allen was trending and clicked on it to see why- only to discover that the majority of the tweets were asking why Tim Allen is trending. So basically Tim Allen is trending because Tim Allen is trending. And that’s Twitter in a nutshell,”  one fan tweets as a result of the trend.

Another says, “Get on Twitter. See Tim Allen trending. Check tweets. It’s only tweeted asking why Tim Allen is trending. I believe the simulation is broken and Twitter is actually cannibalizing itself as we speak.” Sounds about right.
