<p style="font-style: normal;">1851 previously spotlighted the parody Twitter account inspired by Philly Pretzel Factory&#8217;s Tim Tebow pretzel. While certainly not unheard of on the Internet, parody accounts for franchise brands remain a strange and wholly modern phenomenon.</p>  <p style="font-style: normal;">However, none may be stranger than Nihilist Arby&#8217;s.</p>  <p style="font-style: normal;">Yes, you read that correctly; there is a parody Twitter account for Arby&#8217;s that incorporates a love for roast beef sandwiches with the belief that life is meaningless.</p>  <p style="font-style: normal;">If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with the concept of nihilism outside of the odd &#8220;The Big Lebowski&#8221; quote, allow me to cite heavily from the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy:</p>  <p><em>&#8220;Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated. It is often associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism that condemns existence. A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy.&#8221;</em></p>  <p style="font-style: normal;">As pointed out by the folks at Kitchenette, it's the perfect world outlook for a quick-service sandwich chain!</p><div><img src="/Uploads/NA1.png" width="640" height="381" alt="" /></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><img src="/Uploads/NA2.png" width="642" height="345" alt="" /></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><img src="/Uploads/NA3.png" width="639" height="383" alt="" /></div><p style="font-style: normal;">I highly doubt Arby&#8217;s is thrilled with the content of this particular Twitter account, but the persona is catching on, being shared on various blogs and across social media. Putting the Arby&#8217;s name out there has got to count for something, right?</p>
