On Facebook, on television, on gossip blogs, and I guess in the real world, if you’re into that sort of thing, all anyone can seem to talk about is Osama bin Laden. And that’s completely fair, it’s a big deal, but what I’m saying is that if nobody else in the world can stop mentioning it, of course celebrities are going to be talking out of their asses about it. And if I’ve taught you anything, it should be that that’s what Twitter is for.
I’m going to show you some Tweets, ranging from the gleeful to the patriotic to the morbid to the humorous, and then we’ll see what we think, all right?
So are you one of the people who are celebrating Osama’s death like Chris Jericho, or are you more subdued about his death like Rob Thomas and John Stamos? If you’re like Slash and want to see pictures of the corpse and use dumb emoticons that I don’t even understand, then I kind of don’t want to hear about it, but if you’re now worried that Osama came back as one of Mariah’s offspring? Then you’re a goofy motherfucker that should shoot me an email sometime.
“I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”
~Martin Luther King Jr

MLKJr. was a wonderful, STRONG and wise human being. I am not. Bin Laden was a murderous extremist and needed to be put down like the rabid bitch he was. How can love drive out hate when hate is the very fabric that a man like Osama was stitched from?
the emoticon is slash’s signature, it resembles slash wearing a hat :)
“….dumb emotions you don’t understand….”???? Are you 3 years old or just stupid?
I said “dumb emoticons I don’t understand.” I am neither of those things.
