What Would Diplo Do? It’s a valid question and one that Viceland (the channel) will attempt to answer with its latest series in which turn-of-the-milllennium hearththrob James Van Der Beek plays the Random White Dude Be Everywhere producer.
A show about Diplo by Diplo is totes some ish Diplo would do, as is letting Van Der Beek of the leash on some very astute-ly Diplo-esque tweets under a new Diplo twitter handle. Everything about the new profile is very on brand for Diplo. The bio is pretty much the same, plus a plug for the Viceland show.
To recap, this is a fake twitter account manned by a fake Diplo from a fake Diplo docu-show. It’s next level memeing, is what it is. Here are some of the most Diplo tweets so far.
idea: reality show where i fix all the world’s problems by playing free concerts and tweeting at presidents
the show is called Diplomacy
