Lunch Break: Meet Sweet Brown, Internet sensation
by LauraLoo
On April 7th an Oklahoma City apartment fire prompted a local news channel to cover a story. Their newscast featured Sweet Brown, an excited apartment resident, who was forced to relocate after the apartment fire (which she mistook for BBQing), broke out.

She recounts the events: “Well, I woke up to go get me a cold pop. And then I thought somebody was BBQ’ing. I said, ‘Oh, Lord Jesus, it’s a fire!’ Then I ran out. I didn’t grab no shoes or nothin’, Jesus. I ran for my life. And then the smoke got me. I got bronchitis! Ain’t nobody got time for that!”
And the rest is history. Sweet Brown’s gone viral in just a few weeks, thanks to some creative folks setting her words to a video montage and music. (Note: As a Christian, a few parts of the montage is offensive, but it is what it is.)
