if you tried to go on Twitter, the night of March 2, 2009 and was not able to twitter to your hearts content, it was because Barbara Walters killed Twitter! (DUM DUM DUUUMM!!!)
/flv/barbara_explains_twitter.flvthat is right ladies and gentle-nerds. thats right. the morning of March 2, 2009 the ladies….nay! chickens of The View decided to talk about the internet…specifically Twitter. in short, the conversation turned to asking the question, why did people need to let everyone know what they were doing. “why do you people want to be on MyFace?” well, Babs, i therefore, ask you the question:
why do you not open your mouth, when you speak? the answer is, you just do, just like us who twitter myspace, facebook, or blog!, we just do. we want to let everyone know what we are doing, we want to know what other people are doing! is that wrong?!
erroneous i tell you! erroneous! and because of your old fashion ways, ma’am! you’re minions, correction old ladies got curious and decided to break twitter, for the entire night. because of them, i couldnt update my status for 12 hours and i couldnt see what Olvia Munn was up to.
just to piss you off, ms. walters! im going to effing update my facebook status! good night!
