Twitter Should Die a Fiery, Embarassing, Photographed Death

twitter_death

We have a new Twitter account. You can now follow @Deceiver_Blog to read our tweets.

Why the cumbersome new name, you ask? Good Question. It’s because the ugly douchenozzles fine, fine people at Twitter have suspended our original account (@DeceiverBlog).

Why in the name of Screech’s taint did they do that, you ask? Another good question. We’ve asked them, but all we get back is the sound of blue wings flapping in the stinky air of a fart-filled Twitterverse.

Let’s face it: If slinging venom (especially the kind that’s deserved) got people banned from Twitter, the service wouldn’t have anyone left but @Oprah and @AshleyTisdale. So there has to be something else at work here.

I blame PETA. But then again, that’s an all-purpose answer that fits every problem.

Anyway, please follow @Deceiver_Blog and insist that everyone you know do the same. Blackmail them if necessary, using those Polaroids in your top left-hand desk drawer.

If you work at Twitter, feel free to comment. I dare you. (Stay tuned, folks. If I’ve pissed off the wrong parakeet, we may have yet another Twitter ID in a few hours.)

    That’s why I come here, to learn new words. ‘Douchenozzles’.

  2. 2 fallingstar Oct 27th, 2009 at 6:14 pm

    I’ve never used Twitter. It doesn’t really do anything for me. This just proves how lame they are.

  3. 3 Beige Oct 27th, 2009 at 6:24 pm

    I’m waiting for Twitter to go the way of “Tickle Me, Elmo”. Because, remember him?

  4. 4 Pastafarian Oct 27th, 2009 at 6:37 pm

    I would tell my friends but I don’t have any. THAT I KNOW OF!

    You guys should do the Facebook thing too. Kinda cool. I guess.

    Twitter’s already dead. Its investors just don’t know it yet.

    Funny how in the biggest bubble people are still buying dot coms with huge burn rates, no visible barrier to entry and no tangible profit model.

    By this time next year, you won’t even be able to remember the name.

    “What was it called? Flutter? Sputnik? It was something like that.

    Anyway, they went belly up in early 2010 when the CEO blew his head off after an intern showed him listservs had been around since 1992″

    I gave up my twitter account. Sorry Holly as I was following you. But I do have Facebook and it would be awesome if you had an account on there.

  8. 8 Don Oct 27th, 2009 at 8:14 pm

    Keep up the pissing off!

    First time I heard a Twitter acct being turned off. I’m totally with you on the PETA conspiracy..

  10. 10 Cattleprod Oct 27th, 2009 at 11:35 pm

    Twitter released a ‘statement’ (I refuse to contribute to the opinion that twittering is a valid form of communication) saying the widespread cancellations were due to human error and that they would be reinstating the accounts. Lesson learned: fire the IT guy at the END of the workday.

  11. 11 AllyKat Oct 27th, 2009 at 11:51 pm

    Maybe Obama declared Twitter to be an illegitimate communication form…nah. That would be intelligent and do the world real good, not just theoretically benefit someone someday.

    Speaking of groups who randomly ban people, let’s take votes. Who will be the next arbitrary target of the White House, now that Fox News has been declared fake? My money’s on the Salvation Army. They cling to religion. Bad!

    I Tweet so that makes me a Twit. A

  13. 13 jenn Oct 28th, 2009 at 7:08 am

    I signed up to follow your ‘tweets’ and then never,ever checked in again. Glad to know Deceiver got Twitter’s little feathers in a bunch though. :-)

  14. 14 Jill Oct 28th, 2009 at 7:11 am

    Sorry, can’t stand Twitter.

  15. 15 Angry Army Wife Oct 28th, 2009 at 8:16 am

    Obama will go after talk radio after Fox News. Anyone who disagrees with him is a bad person. God forbid people have other opinions than the great one. And it is true, turn on Fox News at 5pm and 9pm and you will get opinionated programming. HOwever, the other 22 hours is actually full of, wait for it – NEWS!!!!

  16. 16 Conrad Oct 28th, 2009 at 10:05 am

    My main reason for being on Twitter is that I’m able to Tweet anything I find OBama does that is negative to our way of life. I have Twitter linked to my Facebook & what tweets
    I send goes to Facebook trying to get the message out.
    Just my small effort to help my fellow man & woman. The WH is attempting to monitor the internet.
    Another attempt to step on one of our freedoms.

    “Obama will go after talk radio after Fox News.”

    You have to realize something about our ‘Dear Leader’ that wasn’t correctly foreshadowed in 1984. To wit: Neither Dear Leader nor anyone on the government payroll need lift a finger to silence protest. Obama has an army of Drone Freethinkers (the irony’s lost on them, don’t bother) who will do this for him, all to curry favor with The One. Only when things deteriorate to the point where that connection breaks down (don’t worry, it will… or, uh, maybe I should say worry IS called for) will Dear Leader have to take more direct action.

    I think this is unlikely until Obama’s second term (yes, he will have a second term, just like FDR). By that point, we’ll have stagflation, sky-high gas prices, rioting in China (among other places) and a myriad of other issues that will make the Carter Era seem like the Good Old Days. The market rollercoaster will be in full swing (down again by his mid-second term). And if it makes you feel any better, everyone who jumped off the One’s bandwagon (especially the press) will be on the attack.

    NO, that doesn’t make me feel better. What would make me feel better? Seeing his cocky, head-bobbing ass get impeached and forced right out of the White House, taking that she-beast with him. We can’t afford ONE Obama presidency as it is, forget about two. Look at the damage that SOB has wrought within ten months.

  21. 21 angry army wife Oct 28th, 2009 at 5:30 pm

    oh please no. No mention of a second term. I was trying to have a good day. I hope to god that people wise up, get rid of Pelosi, Reid and then his royal PETA (pain in the ass) for good.

  22. 22 Mister Snitch Oct 28th, 2009 at 6:20 pm

    “We can’t afford ONE Obama presidency as it is, forget about two.”
    “I hope to god that people wise up”

    I’m hip. But to (greatly) paraphrase what Gustave le Bon said in “The Crowd”, man has to make a big, big mess before he addresses the original mistake. That’s just the way we roll. Obama’s role is to exacerbate the problem. Someone’s gotta come along later to fix it, but I don’t know who. (Probably someone who is considered a laughingstock right now. See Reagan, Ronald.)

    “taking that she-beast with him”

    The wife makes my skin crawl. What I keep expecting with her is what happened in the dressing room scene in The Devil’s Advocate. Hasn’t happened yet, but keep watching.

    Let us hope that we get someone more like Palin than Lohan.
