  • Viral sensation ‘Egg Boy’ donates $100k to Christchurch attack survivors

    In March, Australian teenager Will Connolly instantly became known as "Egg Boy" after a viral egg cracking stunt. 

    The stunt involved Connolly smashing an egg over the head of an Australian politician for his strongly criticized remarks following the massacre in Christchurch, New Zealand.

    Connolly was hit with a barrage of legal issues due to the stunt, leading to a GoFundMe being set up in order to pay for a lawyer. 

    The GoFundMe quickly picked up steam and a lawyer offered to take his case "pro bono" leading Connoly to commit to donating the funds to the victims of the horrific terrorist attack. 

    On Tuesday, the 17-year-old announced his donation will be for nearly $100,000. 

    In the wake of the Christchurch mosque shooting, which killed 51 people, far right Australian politician Fraser Anning issued a statement directly blaming Muslim immigrants for the attacks, saying:

    "The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place."
