This week was filled with fireworks and fighting news outlets. Here’s what was happening in the other parts of the internet.
1. Strangers bought a car for one Texas man
Justin Korva was walking three miles to work every day. On one of his walks home from work, Austin Mitchell asked Korva if he wanted a ride. Korva, however, said he had been saving his money to buy a car and was working on bettering himself.
Mitchell raised enough money to buy Korva a new Toyota Camry.
“That's why I was saving for to get a car,” Korva told FOX 4. “It's just an instant blessing, an instant surprise.”

Jake the Diamond Dog attended a Fort Wayne TinCaps game Monday and carried a basket of water bottles out to the umpires.
“Barnstorming across America to ballparks where his full-game performance includes: delivering the game ball to the pitcher, shagging foul balls, taking water and towels to the umps, playing batboy, catching Frisbees and honoring the Sweetheart of the Game," the Indy Star reported.
3. The world picked a favorite color
A UK paper company GF Smith surveyed thousands of people from more than 100 countries on a quest to find out what the world’s favorite color was. According to Mental Floss, the winner was this blue-green color called Marrs Green.
