As we wrap up yet another eventful year for Pakistan, let’s take a look at the times when some of you went a little too cray cray about things that shouldn’t really have bothered many.
Here are the times Pakistanis went a little too far, this past year:

4. When Imran Khan was a bachelor again and the world couldn’t believe it was so quick

Consolation: It was longer than Kim Kardashian’s 72 day marriage, at least.
5. When Saif Ali Khan, who isn’t Pakistani, did not have faith in Pakistan and Pakistanis were angry for no reason
An inconsequential actor, who has no effect on the foreign policy of any country, made a statement that was sure to get him free publicity was given so much importance that even if someone (read: me) didn’t know about his movie, they felt intrigued to see it.

6. The whole #LoveWins controversy that pitted burgers against the bun kebabs of the nation
It was a law that was applied on land is 12, 346 Kilometers away from us. Guess some people just hate colorful rainbows.

7. When Pakistanis gave Hamza Ali Abbasi more importance than the much bigger concern of climate change
It is reported that Pakistan is going to be the worst hit in the region because of climate change. We can already see that with floods, heatwaves and whatnot and yet Hamza Ali Abbasi deserves more status updates, video views and our social media activism.

11. When Meera threw yet another tantrum
While this behavior sounds like a medical condition and someone should help the poor lady if that is the case, we hope it was just another tactic to stay relevant and it is all for our entertainment.
