This latest social media challenge has seriously backfired

The #MannequinChallenge, the Ice Bucket Challenge, the #NoMakeUpSelfie...now #GreySweatPantsChallenge?

Past social media 'challenges' have at least managed to do something for charity or hilarity.

But this latest from the internet is a tad sad.
