Fart Robot

January 5, 2010

I monitor Trending Topics and I send Direct Messages. I tweet and I retweet. I follow and I am followed.

I.

Am.

A Twitterer.

For those of you yet unfamiliar with the fastest growing social networking service on the World Wide Web, Twitter enables its users to stay connected via 140-character messages known as tweets, an example of which I've provided below.


Although countless Tweeple utilize Twitter for the sole purpose of tracking their favorite celebrities, I use the service to peruse vital news headlines, bond with my comrades and, well, track my favorite celebrities.

Today, Michael Ian Black, an American actor and comedian best-known for his roles in "Ed" and "Wet Hot American Summer," took time out of his demanding work schedule to handpick several dozen of his one and a half million followers and unabashedly ridicule them.


Appalled, I promptly shot Mr. Black a tweet.


Needless to say, my request was ignored.

Though I was miffed that a D-list celebrity had the audacity not to make a fool out of me in front of the entire Twitter community, my pain quickly abated when I discovered that someone else had paid me some mind.


While I realize that Fart Robot is an actual person who spends his time searching for tweets about farting and pooping, I don't care.

FART ROBOT APPROVES.

And for me, that will always be enough.

  1. He didn't hand pick them. Those followers paid 5.00 to the charity he was sponsoring and therefore earned the insult.

  2. I’ve heard of homeless people getting bashed for cash but paying to get insulted might be the best new idea I’ve heard in a while.

  3. It's genius. His followers will do anything to get noticed by him, I guess. Even if it means enduring a slam.
