Idris Elba, actor and noted handsome man, had the world in a tizzy this week when it was speculated that he might have a dong the size of a meatball sub. On Twitter this morning, Elba revealed that his meatballs were actually part of a mic wire and nothing more.

The good news is i got a shit load of followers. The bad news is, that is a mic wire. #egowentintospaceshipmodethough — Idris Elba (@idriselba) August 9, 2014

Though disappointment rang out through lands far and wide, there is always a bright side: the perfect hashtag #egowentintospaceshipmodethough is available to be used liberally.
