5 Reactions to The Desert Sun’s Non-GIF, GIF Story (As Told in GIFs)

The Desert Sun wants you to be ready for monsoonal weather coming to The Coachella Valley – but, they also want you to know they are hip and cool and millennial-friendly and stuff. So, they posted an article titled, “Five ways to stay safe during monsoon season (in GIFs)” – which was weird, since the article didn’t: a) need GIFs, or b) have any actual GIFs.

(Update: the article title was changed to “Five ways to stay safe during monsoon season” and all references to GIFs removed, except that pesky URL, minutes after I put this post up.  Thanks for reading Cactus Hugs, Desert Sun!)

This screenshot shows a portion of the original article, which has seemingly useful tips in case of flooding combined with words describing GIFS – but no actual GIFS:
