BuzzFeed Gets Hilariously Parodied In Its Own Version Of 'Wolf Of Wall Street'
Everyone gets their 15 minutes of YouTube fame, and today is Jonah Peretti's turn.
Peretti, the founder of BuzzFeed, is parodied in "The Wolf Of BuzzFeed," where an actor portraying Peretti stands in as the Leonardo DiCaprio/Jordan Belfort role in "The Wolf Of Wall Street."
It's a true gem, and it was making the rounds on Twitter all morning.
Here's a little rundown of what the trailer looks like:
