Getting mean tweets is kind of amusing really. Thankfully I don’t think I’ve ever got one since I’ve not been brainwashed by the thing called Twitter yet, but to each their own. The strange thing about Twitter however is that much like Facebook it allows people to be tough over social media and say things that a lot of them likely wouldn’t say to a person’s face. In sense it’s like talking behind a person’s back, only loud enough so that they can hear you. In this clip however you get to watch Larry David, one of the last guys you would think might bust up like this, reading mean tweets about Jimmy Kimmel and getting a kick out of them.
The guy just can’t stop laughing as he reads each tweet, and to be honest it’s pretty funny since normally you wouldn’t see him bust up like this. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s Jimmy Kimmel that’s being roasted over Twitter or maybe this is the one thing that’s hit his funny bone in just the right way. The fact is that he’s obviously into it and is getting a lot of enjoyment out of reading these tweets.
Twitter is perhaps one of the worst inventions to ever come along, and in the eyes of many people one of the best. It does manage to allow people to connect and share what they think is relevant in life with others throughout the world. But unfortunately if you’re going to allow that then you’re going to have to allow everyone else to make their voices be heard as well. And this includes the keyboard cowboys, the tough people that act this way over Twitter but in person would no doubt start to explain their words in a way that would save them from being pounded into the pavement or sued for some slight that they thought they could get away with.
It doesn’t take much to send out a tweet and attempt to ruin someone’s career or credibility, but really when people are doing such things to celebrities it’s kind of amusing. Enough has already been done to make sure that their place in Hollywood is firmly set. Their fans are supportive and the networks that keep them on have instilled enough faith in them that they won’t be giving them the boot for a single opinion or three hundred. So the mean tweets are really more or less for the individuals that send them, an effort to make themselves feel better about their role and place in life. Honestly that’s about all the good their opinions are doing on Twitter. I could understand if someone was attempting to champion a cause or form a group whose sole purpose was to remove a certain actor from Hollywood for things of a heinous nature.
But mean tweets are just hilarious and kind of pointless. Of course Larry David is getting a kick out of them so there’s one upside, you get to laugh at the people that think they’re proving a point by delivering their rant.
