I really need to know who the 15,000 people are who actually have the time to give a rat’s rump about this ‘tard.
Typical tweet: went to doc; more plugs in. yay!
Followed by: still small wee wee
i think he’s using his twitter account to plug more than his hair. if you look at the posted pic he’s holding up that crappy drink ViB and he tweets about it early on. Future tweets will include product placements for – MaDoosh – the doosh for a man; AntiK8- a cream that repels women named Kate; and hUGGS – hair plugs made by the UGGS company
a twit that tweets – oh how sweet the sound – SNARK
Ew.
Ew is like EW hahah
Hey EW, I just ate chicken and mashed potatoes. I’m sure as many people care about that as they do these 2 freaks by now.
mmmmmmmm Chicken.
BBQ or roasted chicken – tweety minds want to know….
Great! Another reason not to care about Twitter.
Ha! Amen to that.
STOP COVERING HIM NO ONE GIVES AN EFF.
Agree!
AMEN.
I thought his whole thing was that he hated that the media followed his every move? Why the hell would he get a twitter? I think he needs to stop spending so much time in the limelight and spend more time with his kids.
you mean more time spent with the girl flavor of the month – with twitter – he can report his new girlfriend directly to us – without having the media in on it
Really EW???? This is news? Come on. You’re better that that.
WHO CARES?!?!?! EW, please don’t report on crap like this.
You have sunk to such lows now, EW. Your magazine is getting crappier and crappier and now your site is, too. Shame…you used to be so good.
i don’t know who is more pathetic. those 15,000 imbociles or EW for considering this in any way news.
lord.
This is truly a low point for this site and this entertainment news organization. I still love EW, but when things like this get posted as “news,” I start to lose faith. Whoever authorized this post to not only go on the site, but to get top center billing at the top of the page, you should be embarrassed. Get your head straight EW.
To everyone saying ‘why did EW post this, it has sunk to a new low’…what are you people talking about? Here is someone, in the news all the time, joining the biggest internet phenomenon. How is this NOT something to post? Whether you care to follow him, or even like him, is another issue. It warrants a post.
I agree.
Michael…IF crappy media organizations wouldnt cover OCTOMOM, KATE, JON, ETC…they wouldnt be celebrities. Because you know what, THEY ARENT.
If people didn’t follow stories about these people, the media wouldn’t report on them. If there’s a market for these stories, you better believe media are going to exploit that and do whatever it takes to draw in the ratings and readers. We’re all reading this article and commenting, aren’t we?
Though I grant you, this was a stupid “story.” But it’s not entirely the media’s fault that people like to read about what a d-bag Jon has become.
So Michael, you consider it to be newsworthy when anyone famous (or infamous) joins a social networking site? Is that what we’ve come to? As someone who works in news business, I find that to be really sad.
