One should never try to eat out of a toilet. One should never question the Indian Army. One should never make fun of PM Modi.
One should never say that Salman Khan could be a bad human being.
But the greatest sin of them all:
One shouldn't try to take Rajinikanth from the Tamilians.
One of the biggest news networks in the world, CNN, tweeted out a profile of Tamil movie star cum God of gods cum the hero we don't deserve but the hero we need, Rajinikanth, captioning him as a "Bollywood hero".

This is the ultimate sin of humanity, the gravest error a social media deskie can commit. These are the type of mistakes that end up with giving the tweeter the same fate as Ned Stark.
However honourable your intentions, never ever never, EVER try to take Thalaivar from the Tamilians.
Indian Twitter was not happy with CNN's cardinal sin, and what ensued can only be termed as Twitter Armageddon.
Rajinikanth, a *Bollywood* hero ? Delete this, quick, CNN. You don't know who you're messing with. https://t.co/3ZGFfbJO7G

Rajinikanth hasn't got swag, swag is lucky enough to have Rajinikanth.
Rajinikanth's Kabali is the biggest blockbuster in India this year. |
