To make mistakes on social media is only human. From making horrible typos, accidentally hitting 'like' on an ex¡¯s picture, to posting some cheesy captions or just offending someone with an insensitive comment. We¡¯ve all been there and done that.
But some errors on social media can cost a heavy price. Specially when it comes to live streaming a government meeting.
More recently, Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan's political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's(PTI) provisional page of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa took the social media goof up game to the very next level!
When someone on the social media team was broadcasting a government session live, they (knowingly or ) unknowingly turned on the ¡®Cat Filter¡¯!
The result was absolutely hilarious. Every Pakistan government official recorded in the video had cat ears and whiskers on them! People in Pakistan who caught the live stream on time went bonkers and were smart enough some screenshots for the ¡®trollathon¡¯ to begin. There's "a cat in the cabinet" one said.?
Soon after the video went viral, the party put out a clarification regarding the incident, attributing it to "a human error by one of our hardworking volunteers". The party said it had taken "all necessary action" to ensure such a mistake is not repeated? and that a ¡®protocol would be followed for a live coverage.¡¯
But we all the know the damage was done and people just couldn¡¯t stop trolling this incident.

Just a few days ago, the Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan broke the diplomatic protocol at the opening ceremony of the SCO Summit here when he sat down even as all other leaders, including Narendra Modi, were standing.
In a video shared by Imran Khan's party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), Imran Khan was seen sitting while everyone else stood welcoming head of states, including Russian President Vladmir Putin, entering the hall.
"Imran Khan again caused national embarrassment at Bishkek, ShanghaiCooperation Organisation. When everyone was standing. He sat, stood when the presenter took his name but sat again. Arrogant, ill mannered, or an idiot?" one Twitter user wrote.
This isn¡¯t the first time ?Khan broke the diplomatic protocol at the 14th Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Summit held in Saudi Arabia earlier this month.
Imran Khan spoke to the Saudi King's interpreter and walked off before the message could be translated, leaving the Saudi King standing alone.
Seems like Imran Khan and? his party workers need a serious brushing-up in diplomatic protocols and just basic etiquettes.
