It ended badly : thirteen of the worst breakups in history
\"If you are lying in bed right now, a pint of ice cream in one hand, a bottle of scotch in the other, and this book clenched between your teeth (one tooth is missing from last night's bar fight), with tears streaming down your face over how much you loved, loved, loved your ex, let me commend you on how well you are coping. You could be doing so much worse. So much worse. You could be beheading your ex, or castrating strangers, or starting an exciting new life with a sex doll. YOU ARE A HERO. In It Ended Badly, New York Observer columnist Jennifer Wright guides you through thirteen of the worst breakups of notable figures in history-- from Emperor Nero (sadist, murderer several times over), to Viennese artist Oskar Kokoschka (he of the aforementioned sex doll), to Norman Mailer (public stabbing). It's fun, pop history that educates, entertains, and really puts your own bad breakup behavior into perspective.\" -- Provided by publisher.

Fostering brand love through branded memes on social media
Purpose
This study aims to investigate the psychological mechanisms underpinning the impact of branded memes on brand love on social media.
Design/methodology/approach
Using a self-reported online survey, data from 479 verified Facebook users were analyzed using structural equation modeling to examine the interrelationships among sense of liberation, perceived trendiness, hedonic engagement, perceived humor, self-brand connection and brand love.
Findings
The results indicate that a sense of liberation significantly influences self-brand connection but does not directly affect perceived humor. Perceived trendiness is a key predictor of both perceived humor and self-brand connection. However, hedonic engagement has no substantial effect on perceived humor or self-brand connections. Importantly, perceived humor plays a crucial role in strengthening self-brand connections and fostering brand love.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first empirical exploration to showcase the consumer brand love formation process facilitated by branded memes, offering valuable insights into meme-marketing strategies. This highlights the importance of perceived humor and trendiness in enhancing brand love through social media platforms.
