View Full Version : Overly dramatic tweets during the Japan disaster
Nimrod's Son 03-11-2011, 03:02 PM Tweeted today from someone in the cast of Twilight who is in Vancouver
"They're evacuating us 4 a tsumnani warning," Tinsel Korey, who plays Emily in the saga, tweeted rather dramatically early this morning. "If this is my last my tweet. I love you. The end. Hugz."
"If this is the moment. Then I've lived a good life. And I'm thankful 4 everything I've been given. 1 love :)…I'm not trying 2 b dramatic!!! I'm just saying my peace. This is my truth right now. 1Love."
Trotskilicious 03-11-2011, 03:03 PM my final facebook message is totally going to end with *hugz*

I have no idea who that person is and I don't follow ANYONE on Twitter. I'm not a twitter person. It was one of the top results on Google News and I read it because of the Kimmel piece

Sarcastic Smile 03-11-2011, 09:47 PM California did get hit worse than Hawaii, not defending the tweet thing.. and one of the top 5 earthquakes I think was in Alaska so it would make sense for them to evacuate the set and the people probably just got freaked out and dramatic.. can someone explain in dumb for me how the Tsunami hit Cali so bad?? The videos I saw reminded me of the floods in Australia as far as power/force
in san diego the beaches are 200 feet above sea level
slunken 03-11-2011, 10:39 PM THANK GOD IGN IS REPORTING THAT ALL THE VIDEOGAME COMPANIES ARE OKAY! PRAISES TO THE HEAVENS!
from my experience japan faces disaster like this all the time. prolly just another monster or sonthin'....
slunken 03-11-2011, 10:41 PM also tonight a bridge broke that secures a floating restaurant here on the ohio river. jack rubys is floating away and might hit a barge.
Sarcastic Smile 03-11-2011, 10:49 PM I was more talking about Santa Cruz, what are is it there?

i love how you get all defensive
admit it, you love twilight. it makes your heart soar.
Starla 03-13-2011, 03:37 AM I'm happy to see the cast of twilight is safe. Anything bad can happen on the earth but please keep these people safe so they can create the next oscar winning film.
Order 66 03-13-2011, 03:44 AM i still havent seen that shit
Shallowed 03-13-2011, 04:51 AM Oh man, you gotta get around to that sometime.
Sarcastic Smile 03-14-2011, 01:18 AM I never understood the "My thoughts and prayers are with the [people effected by x]" tweets, status updates,etc.
What is the point of that? I'm not really bashing the people that do it.. I'm just questioning why people do it.. for what? It doesn't really benefit anyone other than the person doing it by making them look compassionate or something. If your going to say something regarding the situation post something useful.. donate some of your millions or organize a search and rescue
Like, is this really newsworthy? http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/celebrities-react-twitter-japan-quake-tsunami/story?id=13113550
Sarcastic Smile 03-14-2011, 01:26 AM People can't rebuild their houses with your prayers
Pretty sure most of those people aren't even religious so wtf are their prayers even good for?
Luke de Spa 03-14-2011, 02:16 AM I never understood the "My thoughts and prayers are with the [people effected by x]" tweets, status updates,etc.
What is the point of that?
it signals compassion
essentially it's for personal social benefit
people are phonies, news at 11
Starla 03-14-2011, 03:03 AM If only they could have responded to katrina this way. Black americans come last.
Trotskilicious 03-14-2011, 03:31 AM people donated a lot of money to hatians and nothing happened

I find this to be infuriatingly asinine.
I don't understand why news outlets (CNN is especially guilty of this) hinge half of their reporting on people's twitter accounts.
Twitter is the worst thing.
Trotskilicious 03-14-2011, 09:26 AM "technology is stupid" = conservativeness.
Eulogy 03-14-2011, 09:37 AM "technology is stupid" = conservativeness.
I think Twitter is capable of doing a lot of good. It's a valuable tool. But not when ABC News is posting articles about Charlie Sheen's twitter reaction to a massive earthquake in Japan or when CNN picks random tweets from random people and tries to turn them into news items.
Trotskilicious 03-14-2011, 10:03 AM it's just search engine optimization, it's nothing to get all bent out of shape over.

Why say anything if it doesn't actually benefit anyone? WTF is the benefit of tweeting anything? It's fucking Twitter, it's not exactly a deep and insightful place.
Trotskilicious 03-14-2011, 10:49 AM the Revolution will be twittered.
Sonic Johnny 03-14-2011, 10:57 AM if it ain't gonna be in my news feed well, fuck, i'll probably miss it.
duovamp 03-14-2011, 11:53 AM Ryosuke Takahashi won't be saved unless God gets 245,000 prayers for him! Come on people, let's put our hands together and meet that quota!!
duovamp 03-14-2011, 11:56 AM Attn everyone following me on Twitter:
I am currently in the process of praying. You all must know this.
Eulogy 03-14-2011, 03:19 PM i was entertained by this though:
New York Liberty guard Cappie Pondexter has apologized after causing an Internet uproar with comments on her Twitter account that were deemed insensitive toward victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
On Saturday, Pondexter tweeted: "What if God was tired of the way they treated their own people in there own country! Idk guys he makes no mistakes."
She later tweeted: "u just never knw! They did pearl harbor so u can't expect anything less."
Pondexter also used used the racially derogatory term "jap," when referring to someone who was offended by her comments.
On Monday morning, Pondexter issued an apology on her verified Twitter account "cappa23."
"I wanna apologize to anyone I may hurt or offended during this tragic time," the tweet said. "I didn't realize that my words could be interpreted in the manner which they were. People that knw me would tell u 1st hand I'm a very spiritual person and believe that everything, even disasters happen 4 a reason and that God will shouldn't be questioned but this is a very sensitive subject at a very tragic time and I shouldn't even have given a reason for the choice of words I used.
"The least thing I wanted was to hurt or offend anyone so again I truly apologize. If you've lost respect for me that's totally fine but please don't let me or my words lose the respect of u the WNBA and what it stands for.
"I'm very strong woman evn strong enough 2 admit an apologize when I'm wrong. Twitter is a voice and wth tht I wanna apologize again."
More publicity with two tweets than the WNBA usually gets in a year.
Sarcastic Smile 03-14-2011, 03:25 PM in every dumb post I read there always seems to be a "their own people in THERE own country"
Eulogy 03-14-2011, 03:28 PM they did pearl harbor
Trotskilicious 03-14-2011, 03:29 PM yeah my grandpa was there and he's been dead over a decade now and uh he still wouldn't say any of this shit ever
sppunk 03-14-2011, 05:00 PM Did he fight in Japan? I know most who fought in Japan hated/ loathed the Japanese with a burning passion (rightfully so probably at the time) while people who didn't were far more sympathetic because they didn't face the atrocities the Japanese military created.
Trotskilicious 03-14-2011, 06:14 PM he was a plane mechanic, so no.
the other grandpa fought rommel though.
Trotskilicious 03-14-2011, 06:15 PM i don't think any of these people are ww2 veterans and besides that doesn't excuse racism anyway
i'd say we don't still hate germans (& nobody does, because...well.) but if there was a huge disaster there there'd be plenty of nazi jokes.
Order 66 03-14-2011, 07:57 PM i know they did pearl harbor but what about the vietnam war did they do that too. if so they most def deserve it
duovamp 03-14-2011, 10:29 PM Terrible country tbh. Utterly terrible.

that's the fucking problem right there

my cousin married a japanese man and my grandma (mom's side) had the nerve to say at her wedding, "i'm glad your grandfather is not alive to see this".
Trotskilicious 03-15-2011, 12:18 AM and then some guy at npr gets in trouble for saying the right is full of dangerous racists
Nimrod's Son 03-15-2011, 11:37 AM they also fired juan williams for no reason. NPR is a bunch of hacks
Eulogy 03-15-2011, 11:58 AM well one reason could have been that he's just kind of terrible and they were looking for an excuse to get rid of him
Trotskilicious 03-15-2011, 12:47 PM they also fired juan williams for no reason. NPR is a bunch of hacks
no, he said something racist on national television. he was a paid contributor and they decided his contributions were not welcome on their station. I'm not sure why we should just accept people's "right" to be racists.

what are you going to do, make them stop being racist somehow
Sarcastic Smile 03-16-2011, 01:38 AM yes
Trotskilicious 03-16-2011, 01:45 AM well you should be able to call them a racist without them getting offended, it's like they don't even know what it is anymore.
it's like they know they shouldn't be but they have no idea they are. "I'm not racist but..."
Starla 03-16-2011, 01:58 AM I saw white people talking on their cell phones in the library and it was like "oh dude, dude, yeah, dude, that's rad dude. Yeah brah, braaahhh"
Starla 03-16-2011, 02:01 AM I have some white friends too so don't try and say i'm racis
Luke de Spa 03-16-2011, 02:05 AM you're so racy
FoolofaTook 03-16-2011, 04:32 AM I saw white people talking on their cell phones in the library and it was like "oh dude, dude, yeah, dude, that's rad dude. Yeah brah, braaahhh"
I think you left out a significant number of "likes".
