The "Thelma &amp; Louise" star is the latest international celebrity to back the protest, after a tweet by pop star <keyword id="3318" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rihanna">Rihanna</keyword> triggered a wave of support for the protesting farmers by a number of global personalities, activists and politicians. The 74-year-old actor took to Twitter and shared a news report by The New York Times, headlined, "Why Are Farmers Protesting in India?" "Standing in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India.

Tens of thousands of farmers have been protesting at three border points on the outskirts of Delhi demanding a complete repeal of the three farm laws.

<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=pornhub&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Pornhub</a>, the largest <keyword id="6367992" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Porn">porn</keyword> website is out with its annual review where it goes deep into the insights of how every country fared on the porn website. 
 
The statistics are intriguing to say the least, proving that the world, especially India, watched a lot of porn this year. Like a lot. 
 
According to the 2016 report, India is now the 4th consumer of porn worldwide, coming behind United States of America, United Kingdom and Canada. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Pornhub-came-out-with-its-2015-Year-in-Review-and-this-is-how-India-fared/articleshow/50492895.cms">Last year</a>, India had ranked 3rd when it came to traffic, surpassing Canada, but it looks like people this year were busy with a lot of other things, rather than dedicating their time to watching porn. Demonetisation, we're talking about you. 
 
 
 
Additionally, the top three searches for Indians were 'Indian wife', 'Indian college girls' and finally 'Indian bhabhi'. It would be noteworthy to state that last year, 'Indian bhabhi' was the priority for Indian men, with 'Indian wife' coming in 3rd. Oh how the tables have turned! 
 
Last, but not the least, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Meet-Sunny-Leone-the-smart-businesswoman/articleshow/53193428.cms">Sunny Leone</a> tops the list of most searched <keyword id="2571522" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="pornstars">pornstars</keyword> in the country, with <keyword id="2968223" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mia-Khalifa">Mia Khalifa</keyword> coming in a close 2nd, followed by Lisa Ann. This bit of statistics remain the same as last year. 
 
Guess, we really love Make in India, even when it comes to porn.

How much porn did India watch last year?

<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=pornhub">Pornhub</a>, every man (and a few women’s) best friend is out with its annual review where it goes deep into the insights of how every country fared on the <keyword id="6367992" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Porn">porn</keyword> website. 
 
The statistics are intriguing to say the least, proving that the world watched a lot of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=porn">porn</a> this year. Like a lot. 
 Take for instance the fact that approximately 4,392,486,580 hours of porn was watched on <keyword id="1607136" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Pornhub">Pornhub</keyword> in 2015 which is almost 2.5x longer than homo sapiens have been on the planet. 
 
And, the most surprising bit? Turns out ‘love’ is the most used comment on their videos. 
 
Someone call the irony police, we say. 
 
The statistics get even more interesting when they analyze the trends from <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=india">India</a>. 
 
 
 For a start, <keyword id="3658" type="COUNTRY" weightage="80" keywordseo="India">India</keyword> ranked 3 among Pornhub’s top 20 countries when it came to traffic, surpassing Canada, Germany, France, Russia among other and losing out to big brothers United States and United Kingdom. 
 
Secondly, on an average India lasted a whole minute longer this year than they did last year, coming to 9 minute 30 seconds and making it to rank 4. Philippines, United States and Australia outdid our country in this aspect. 
 
Thirdly, when it came to searches, it was found that while ‘the vast majority of top, gaining and relative searches contain ‘indian,’ search terms ‘japanese’ and ‘indonesia’ both made some impressive leaps to get into the top 10 list with 14 and 47 place jumps respectively’. 
 
However, the top three relative searches, i.e., searches exclusive to the country’s users as compared to the world gave an accurate representation of the three priorities of every Indian man (in a particular order)- Indian Bhabhi, Indian Actress and finally an Indian Wife. 
 
Guess, Make in India is really working then? 
 
And, last but not the least, the most searched pornstar for Indians remains <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=sunny+leone">Sunny Leone</a>, followed closely by <keyword id="2968223" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Mia-Khalifa">Mia Khalifa</keyword>. 
 
Phew. No surprises there atleast.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Thousands of virtual brands are flooding delivery apps like Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub.</li><li>Some consumers mistake these ghost brands for real brick-and-mortar restaurants. </li></ul>Man vs Fries. Mama Roma. El Taco Loco. The Salad Station. Pizza Mania. MrBeast Burger.One might think these are niche concepts serving diners classic American staples in restaurants across the US.But, consumers are not dining inside any of these restaurants. Instead, they're ordering takeout or delivery from them on apps like DoorDash. Menus made in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/5-ghost-kitchen-startups-looking-for-vc-funding-2022-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ghost kitchens have erupted</a> on delivery apps over the past five years. Uber Eats, for example, first began helping restaurants develop delivery-only brands in 2017. By 2019, Uber had more than 3,000 virtual restaurants listed in its app in the US. Today, the company said its app hosts "tens of thousands of virtual restaurant storefronts." But it's difficult to know if you're ordering from one. These 'virtual restaurant' menus typically hawk one type of dish, like <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wingstop-logged-1-billion-in-digital-sales-in-2020-and-wants-to-compete-with-dominos-2021-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chicken wings</a>. And most operate inside established restaurants looking to boost sales by creating their own menus or licensing and selling one or two delivery-only brands. Some virtual restaurants operate in food trailers run by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reef-jll-lawsuit-payment-stiff-vendors-2022-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reef Technology</a>, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/5-ghost-kitchen-startups-looking-for-vc-funding-2022-6">ghost kitchens</a> like <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ghost-kitchen-workers-reveal-risky-silicon-valley-growth-tactics-2022-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Travis Kalanick's CloudKitchens</a>, or food halls like <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kitchen-united-raises-100-million-from-kroger-burger-king-owner-2022-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kitchen United</a>.According to a joint <a href="https://about.grubhub.com/grubhub-and-technomic-release-new-data-insights-from-independent-restaurants/" rel=" nofollow">report</a> by Grubhub and the market-research firm Technomic, 41% of independent restaurants are operating virtual restaurants. Many of those operators say they plan to add multiple virtual brands to their existing kitchens in the next 12 months.When the delivery movement accelerated during the pandemic, virtual restaurants went from an innovative menu trend to a bonafide disruptive industry. The trend spawned virtual restaurant companies such as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/softbank-backed-virtual-brand-startup-nextbite-lays-off-staff-2022-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nextbite</a>, Virtual Dining Concepts, Absolute Brands, and C3. The segment has the potential to become a $ 1 trillion business by 2030, according to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/5-ghost-kitchen-startups-looking-for-vc-funding-2022-6">Euromonitor</a>.Many diners still want their food from a 'real' restaurant, though. According to the National Restaurant Association's latest "State of the Industry" <a href="https://restaurant.org/research-and-media/research/research-reports/state-of-the-industry/" rel=" nofollow">report</a>, 74% of the adults surveyed said it was important for their food to be delivered from a place with a physical location that was accessible to the public.But how do delivery users know when they're ordering from a virtual restaurant or a brick-and-mortar food joint? <div type="image" title="Mariah Carey's Cookies" height="823" width="1096" msid="96425343" hostid="261"></div>Some concepts are easy to spot as they are well-publicized brands backed by celebrities, such as Packed Bowls by Wiz Khalifa, DJ Khaled's Another Wing, Guy Fieri's Flavortown Kitchen, and Mariah Carey's Cookies. Still, some with generic names like The Chef Burger or Plant B are easy to mistake for brick-and-mortar restaurants. Here are some tips on how to discover if a restaurant you're ordering from is a virtual brand:<h2>DoorDash</h2>Of the three major apps, DoorDash is the most transparent when it comes to identifying virtual brands. DoorDash has been labeling virtual brands on its app for more than a year."Beyond disclosing the address where meals are prepared, DoorDash has labeled virtual brands with a standalone store page banner since March 2021," the company said.The label typically appears at the top of the restaurant's page before the menu.For example, DoorDash labels MrBeast Burger as "A concept from MrBeast. Brought to you by Virtual Dining Concepts." Virtual Dining Concepts is a company that creates delivery-only brands and licenses them to ghost kitchen operators like Reef Technology. MrBeast Burger is one of the company's most successful virtual brands, delivering from more than 1,000 locations, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-62794444" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the BBC</a>. MrBeast Burger <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-62794444" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opened</a> its first brick-and-mortar restaurant in September to throngs of fans. <div type="image" title="Mama Roma" height="443" width="590" msid="96425345" hostid="261"></div>DoorDash provides a "learn more" section for virtual brands, calling them "stores created exclusively for delivery or pickup through services like DoorDash.""They may be owned by or closely affiliated with an existing company. They may also prepare their menu out of another store's facilities or in a kitchen without a storefront. We'll clearly label virtual brands, so you always know when you're ordering from one." <h2>Uber Eats and Grubhub</h2>Uber Eats and Grubhub do not label virtual brands."These brands are labeled as restaurants in the Uber Eats app. Our perspective is that a virtual restaurant is a real restaurant," Uber Eats told Insider. With a bit of sleuthing, there's still a way to determine if you're ordering from a ghost restaurant from these apps.All three delivery providers disclose the addresses of restaurants on their app – virtual or brick-and-mortar. <div type="image" title="MrBeast Burger Grubhub" height="443" width="590" msid="96425347" hostid="261"></div>Using a MrBeast Burger in Orange, California, on Grubhub as an example, here's how I determined that it was a virtual restaurant. Plug the address on Mr. Beast's listing into Google Maps. In this case, the address is 1500 East Village Way. There's a Red Robin restaurant that shows up with the same address on Google. I called the restaurant to double-check, and an employee confirmed that the chain sells MrBeast as a delivery-only menu. It is unavailable to order for dine-in or on Red Robin's app. On Uber Eats, it works the same. For example, a MrBeast Burger in Houston, Texas, has the same address as Kroger.With help from Google, I learned the supermarket chain has a <a href="https://order.kitchenunited.com/houston-kroger" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kitchen United ghost kitchen</a> inside the store. Another tip? The Miami address for the virtual brand Sam's Crispy Chicken is listed as "MIA07-2" on the Uber Eats app. Whenever you spot an abbreviated city or landmark location like that, it means the menu is prepared inside one of Reef Technology's food trailers. The ghost kitchen, which has <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reef-ghost-kitchen-raw-chicken-fireballs-food-safety-issues-2021-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">struggled with operations over the past year</a>, works with virtual brands and chains like Wendy's.

Restaurants on DoorDash, Grubhub, and UberEats aren't always what they seem. Here's how to spot a 'ghost' menu.

The app regularly works with the "influencer community," the Gemini spokesperson said, "to help educate their followers about cryptocurrency and promote the Gemini brand."The sponsored gift for the TikTok star's 17th birthday didn't appear to come as a surprise. On April 30, Marc, the patriarch of the <a href="https://twitter.com/marcdamelio/status/1388013269722419203">D'Amelio clan, tweeted,</a> "Charli wants a Bitcoin for her birthday," despite Charli not being old enough to trade on the Gemini app, according to its terms of service. When a Twitter user questioned if the teen actually wanted crypto as a birthday present, <a href="https://twitter.com/marcdamelio/status/1388014283800276994">Marc responded</a> that she's "been asking for a Bitcoin all day."Cryptocurrencies, or virtual tokens that can be mined by computers completing complex algorithms, have a total market capitalization of <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/">$2.4 trillion</a>. Their values and name recognition are largely growing, in part, thanks to online promotions. The price of these coins can fluctuate wildly, sometimes for no discernable reason, making huge losses possible. Influencers from all corners of social media have capitalized on the growing industry around cryptocurrency, despite its volatility.<h2>Creators are pushing what some label 'scam coins' </h2>Influencers have leveraged their relationships with viewers to promote cryptocurrencies, and it's usually not entirely clear what financial incentives are at play in these promotions. According to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/generation-z-banking-fintech-payments-social-media-growth-customers-2021-2">Insider Intelligence</a>, Gen Z (people born between 1998 and 2016) will be the largest US consumer market by 2026, with 82 million people. Appealing to that demographic with influencers and the parasocial relationship that they build can allow crypto ventures to expand their reach. 22-year-old social media star Tana Mongeau recently posted a sponsored Instagram post promoting the "Tits Coin" ($TITS), a decentralized finance token that started in 2014 that gives 5% of its liquidity pool (a collection of coins stored to facilitate decentralized trading) to breast cancer research.On March 31, Daniel Keem, host of YouTube's DramaAlert channel with 5.8 million subscribers, tweeted a brief promotion of SafeMoon, a new online currency that <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/14692373/what-is-safemoon/">launched earlier that month.</a> Throughout April, Keem tweeted about the coin nearly two dozen times, showing off its rise in price and helping the decentralized finance token to trend on social media. It rose from one ten-millionth of a cent to one ten-thousandth of a cent mid-month.Others also started to support the coin on social media, including rapper Lil Yatchy and Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter.Other influencers like Jake Paul, the controversial YouTuber and boxer who has 20 million subscribers, <a href="https://twitter.com/jakepaul/status/1375868696980123649?lang=en">have backed Safemoon on Twitter.</a> Paul has been a staunch supporter of cryptos like Dogecoin and Bitcoin, and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/billybambrough/2021/02/17/exclusive-youtube-star-jake-paul-discussed-creating-own-cryptocurrency-as-bitcoin-and-dogecoin-mania-spreads/?sh=7cc26ed71b21">told Forbes in February</a> that crypto is "the future...I'm speaking with my friends constantly about it. We're just scratching the surface.""These tokens have zero purpose, aside from making early speculators and themselves rich, as the token itself won't be used for anything," <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/4avd8p/safemoon-cryptocurrency-made-people-millions">trader Michaël van de Poppe told Vice in May about Safemoon.</a>"It's the flip-side of everything that the cryptocurrency ecosystem tries to achieve."Keem has also pushed other volatile cryptocurrencies like XRP and Bonfire. He tweeted that he is "not a financial advisor" and that you should "not take any financial advice" from him. Jimmy Donaldson, known as the philanthropic YouTuber MrBeast who has over 60 million subscribers, is an investor in "Refinable," a non-fungible token (NFT) company that sells tokens to fund transactions and is even featured on the <a href="https://refinable.com/">site's home page</a>.Other YouTubers started to endorse the coin, with the 116,000-subscriber channel My Financial Friend posting a video titled, "The Next 100x Altcoin?! Why I'm Buying The Refinable FINE Token Tomorrow!"The launch of Refinable did not go as expected. The coin was supposed to launch at $.033 but the price skyrocketed almost immediately to $8 due to "severe congestion" on Binance's trading platform, BSC. Over the next few hours, the price dropped drastically, hitting a low of $1.82. Those that invested immediately responded to Chan, frustrated with losing money. "People lost a lot of money and that's something that happens," My Financial Friend said in a follow-up video. "Everyone on YouTube and the media can say it will be great… but there is a high level of risk with these things." <h2>Cryptocurrency prices have recently surged alongside social media promotions</h2>Traditional celebrities and popular online figures played a significant role in getting the crypto hysteria rolling, using their audience in a similar vein as influencers do.When Tesla CEO Elon Musk changed his Twitter bio to "#bitcoin" in January, the coin's price jumped <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/ronshevlin/2021/02/21/how-elon-musk-moves-the-price-of-bitcoin-with-his-twitter-activity/?sh=3e88490e5d27">$6,000 in one hour.</a> In February, Tesla started accepting <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/08/tesla-buys-1point5-billion-in-bitcoin.html">Bitcoin as payment for their cars</a> while investing $1.5 billion into the coin. Musk had a similar effect on <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/news/elon-musk-dogecoin-community-appointed-ceo-novogratz-galaxy-digital-2019-2021-5-1030389572">Dogecoin</a>, the cryptocurrency based on the meme of a Shiba Inu popular nearly a decade ago. Musk's first reference to <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1340590280848908288">doge came in December 2020</a> and since then he's mentioned it over a dozen times, calling it the <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1357241340313141249">"people's crypto."</a> Soon, other content creators started to push Doge, like Mia Khalifa who shared she was buying Dogecoin in January. Since then, the value of a single Dogecoin has risen over 1,000% and created a string of copycat cryptos to capitalize on the trend. Bitcoin, and other cryptos like Etherium, have a limited amount of pieces that can be created before the supply is gone. Alt options like Dogecoin can be mined forever without running out, making its value appealing to those willing to invest in an idea or meme that doesn't have as much intrinsic value.This follows the wave of hysteria around the rise in the price of <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/dogecoin-price-rally-like-gamestop-social-media-cryptocurrencies-celebrity-2021-5-1030395377">Gamestop stock</a> earlier this year, which was caused by Reddit users. <h2>Cryptocurrency investments are 'ultra-volatile'</h2>Investing in cryptocurrency is a risk with potentially high rewards. Unlike gold, which has real-world value, crypto is only valuable to those that see interest in the technology or the potential adaption could bring."Gold is, no pun intended, the standard if you want to measure purchasing power over millennia," JP Thierot, CEO of Uphold, a digital money platform, previously told <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/news/bitcoin-vs-gold-experts-cryptocurrency-precious-metals-analysis-2021-2-1030103905">Insider.</a> "What bitcoin would seem to possess is the potential to go up to multiples of a moonshot." A report in March from <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/news/bitcoin-price-volatility-forecast-limited-tradability-analysis-deutsche-bank-2021-3-1030229906">Deutsche Bank</a> labeled Bitcoin as "ultra-volatile," and that "in 2020, 28 million bitcoins changed hands (150% of total bitcoins in circulation), compared to 40 shares of Apple (270% of its total shares in circulation)." <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/news/bitcoin-volatile-dollar-cryptocurrencies-digital-currency-federal-reserve-jerome-powell-2021-3-1030233742">That same month</a>, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that crypto assets are "not backed by anything. They're more of an asset for speculation."

That may sound confusing to outsiders of the franchise, but the film does it immensely well.&#xa0;<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="Universal" title_caption="Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Vin Diesel, Tyrese, and Ludacris, with actress Nathalie Emmanuel (" game="" of="" thrones="" who="" joins="" the="" family.="" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/55086532eab8eacc61092d76-960/fast-and-furious-7-cast-1.png"></div></div></div> A part near the end of the film may remind fans of Johnson's next summer action flick, "San Andreas," <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/san-andreas-dark-knight-rises-poster-look-alike-2015-3">about earthquakes shattering Los Angeles</a>.

They look even better on the big screen.After binge-watching the six previous films ahead of "Furious 7," I'd dare to say "Fast Five" and "Six" are better plotwise than the latest installment. Without getting into it too much, the main point of the film is for Diesel to get revenge and take down Shaw before he can harm his extended family. The mission gets sidetracked pretty fast when Diesel and his team get wrangled into a wacky chase around the world by the FBI (headed by another addition, Kurt Russell) for a valuable tech prototype before they can continue hunting Shaw. (Think CBS' "The Amazing Race.") From there, the plot becomes slightly bloated with drones and hackers thrown in the mix, too. But let's be realistic.You don't go to a "Fast and the Furious" film for a serious plot. You head in to see the fast cars, Dom and Brian racing,&#xa0;and what&#xa0;<a href="https://youtu.be/-PF2uw0Raho?t=31s">ridiculous</a><a href="https://youtu.be/-PF2uw0Raho?t=31s"> punchlines the Rock is going to deliver</a>.&#xa0;<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="Universal" title_caption="This is what you go to see " the="" fast="" and="" furious="" franchise="" for.="" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/54cec6e2ecad045c5dace2b3-960/vin-diesel-furious-7.png"></a>UniversalThis is what you go to see "The Fast and the Furious" franchise for.</div></div></div>These films know their audience and what they're doing.Each film tries to top the last with even more ridiculous stunts. In 2001's first film, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfV87TgYH78">Dom and Brian tried to outrace a train</a>. In "2 Fast 2 Furious," Brian <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXQWJ63fico">jumped a car onto a yacht</a>.&#xa0;The last film introduced a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzHwlt3dmmo">military tank to the mix</a> and a wild scene with Vin Diesel <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGeFA2fWzX8">diving out of his vehicle and across a highway</a>. "Furious 7" more than upped the ante.&#xa0;Those who have been fans from its start in 2001 will be rewarded.&#xa0;Not only do actors from previous films - going back to the first release in 2001 - make short cameos, but diehard fans will notice specific references and nods to earlier installments. (One to be on the lookout for is *spoiler*&#xa0;that infamous wrench we learned Dom used to cripple a man in the first film. That sent him to the slammer for two years.&#xa0;*spoiler*)More than anything, "Furious 7" is a tribute to Walker.&#xa0;<div><div></div></div>Walker's brothers Caleb and Cody filled in to<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-fast-and-furious-7-replaced-paul-walker-with-brothers-2014-4">help complete parts of the movie that went unfilmed by Paul</a>. In some brief moments, you may wonder if it's Paul or his siblings on screen, but you'd be hard pressed to think you're looking at anyone but Paul anywhere but in a few select scenes where the screen attention is taken off his face. For those worried that Walker may not be lacking in the film, he's in the film nearly as much as Diesel. If anything, the Rock is in the film less than Walker.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="instagram.com/fast7official" title_caption="Paul Walker's look alike brothers Caleb (left) and Cody (right) on set of " furious="" with="" vin="" diesel.="" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/535588e0ecad04e72cbfeb94-960/screen%20shot%202014-04-21%20at%205.07.59%20pm.png"></a><a href="http://instagram.com/p/nDlds1jPib/">instagram.com/fast7official</a>Paul Walker's look alike brothers Caleb (left) and Cody (right) on set of "Furious 7" with Vin Diesel.</div></div></div> The final 15-20 minutes of "Seven" definitely pull at your heart strings more than any of the other films in the ongoing series.There's a scene in 2011's "Fast Five" where <a href="https://youtu.be/VLtRVENHxb0?t=2m26s">Dom gives a toast after everyone learns his sister Mia (Jordana Brewster) is pregnant</a>. He says, "Money will come and go. We know that. But the most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Right here. Right now. Salud mi familia."<div><div></div></div>&#xa0;Take away the flashy cars, the explosions, the scantily clad women, and the quirky asides and one-liners from Ludacris and Tyrese, and the "Fast and the Furious" series has always been about family.That's one reason this franchise was able to rise back up in popularity after the fourth film when Diesel and the original cast returned. It modeled itself around the one thing his character Dom valued more than anything.Behind the silliness and the action of the franchise, at the end of the day, the film's are about Dom's extended family, an incredibly diverse one full of different races and cultures.&#xa0;Everyone can relate to that. Everyone has family.I won't take away the ending of "Furious 7" from you. That's something that should be experienced on the big screen, but it is a fitting tribute to the late Walker.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="Universal via MovieClips" title_caption="Paul Walker at the end of " the="" fast="" and="" furious="" from="" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/550854d76bb3f7d339092d74-960/paul-walker-the-fast-and-the-furious.png"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfV87TgYH78">Universal via MovieClips</a>Paul Walker at the end of "The Fast and the Furious" from 2001.</div></div></div>Bring a tissue or two, because you're most likely going to cry.
