Twitter

As you may have heard, earlier this week Charles Sheen (née Carlos Irwin Estevez) joined Twitter, gaining approximately five trillion followers in under an hour. So far the pearls of wisdom proffered from Sheen’s firebreathing fists/fingers have included: “Face it folks, you just feel better when you say it. #WINNING,” “I’m here for my people..!” and, in response to one from P. Diddy (“can u please send me the address to ur house? Ive been dreamin about a party like this all my life! See u soon! Lol”), “Get dressed my man… sending the driver..!” Most people probably assumed Chuck signed up to add another dimension to his latest bit of performance art but that’s actually not the case.

Bitches, please. How about first you figure out how to read reports entitled “So and So Is A Massive Ponzi Scheme” before offering up links to press releases and sharing that Mar-Schap is “out for drinks with Ruthie!” Having Power Lunch on Twitter is one thing– an annoying thing, since we have to hear about it 389 times per episode, but harmless. This actually worries us. Obviously these people have proven to bring a steep learning curve to the table. Having been duped more than one (million) time(s) before, they’re probably going to be over eager to respond to any and all messages that come their way. How long before they’re getting diversionary, throw-them-off-the-trail Tweets from, I don’t know, this guy like, “Massive Ponzi scheme @72 Cummings Point Road, better get out here and stop us” and buying it hook line and sinker, all the while missing the real scam going down in Chi-town? I say soon, if it hasn’t happened already.
