What is the timing on that?  It seems like all this happened in a short period of time.  Was December when she was still wanting to get her story out there and now has changed her mind?

I mean not that it matters.  This is not some unique occurrence, this crap happens all the time.

Actually from the one buzzfeed article, I think she was interviewed last summer.

Of course, buzzfeed also documented the "best" tweets from Justine. She sounds like someone who should stay away from twitter. :D

The fuck I am reading some hatchet piece on some nobody.

Edit: sorry that was a little harsh, but seriously this stuff gets under my skin.  But I do think it is a good idea everybody stays away from twitter.

It's a simple gag, and has all three elements of joke structure.  If any comedian had said it precisely as it was written, it never would've registered on anybody's radar from a stand-up routine.

Social justice types are sociopaths/mental invalids out to destroy lives for narcissistic supply? This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Both sides do it, but the leftists seem to be a bit worse.  They are just so damn righteous in their sociopathy.

Agreed, it would have just been one that you chuckle derisively at. Of course, she isn't a comedian and she had a tweet that went viral.

So let this be a lesson to all you kids out there:  no bad jokes, ever.

SJW's like the cunt that brought in a twittermob against that space scientist in the Hawai shirt are about the only examples I can think of. Plus you have applied stalking/sociopathy like Mattress Girl, enabled by social media and Millenial social retardation in general.

Well let me just say you may not be an entirely objective observer :P

What makes them so dangerous is that they are roaringly righteous about what they see as evil.  But the right is just as ragey about what they regard as a threat.

Legbiter: setting fire to his own case and wondering why nobody is convinced by the clear pattern visible in the ashes.

Anyway, at least the mattress girl was taking personal revenge against somebody who had (or allegedly had--whatever) personally wronged her.

There's a universe of difference destroying someone over a personal grudge and picking some random human to crucify.

Stupid cunt; she couldn't resist the allure of staging her own micro-drama.  I hope she's enjoying her 15 minutes of fame.  :glare:

I have my twitter account set up to automatically tweet each post made on Languish.  The people at Twitter asked me to stop but I told them to get bent.

You're probably in breech of several international accords on the disposal of toxic waste.
