Forbes' Jason Evangelho sparked a new trend on twitter by posting a picture of himself cuddling with an AMD Radeon R9 Fury X. Quickly afterwards he issued a challenge to another twitter user, asking him to post a picture of himself cuddling with a graphics card. The chain of challenges continued until it reached AMD's Roy Taylor who decided to donate $2 for every such photo posted on twitter.



Little did anybody know that this would soon become an actual "thing" that people do on twitter. The hashtag #GuysCuddlingWithVideoCards is now trending on twitter. Fans will do crazy things and hardware enthusiasts are the most well, enthusiastic. It was a fun silly thing when it started, now it has evolved into a charity gig which is cool.

Both AMD and Nvidia fans have jumped on the #CuddlingWithVideoCards bandwagon and the num

ber of tweets is climbing quickly. If you want to empty Roy Taylor's wallet all you've got to do is post a photo of yourself "cuddling" with your graphics card.

The donations will go to the @ExtraLife4Kids charity. You can visit the Extra Life website by clicking on this link.
