See my reply to myself Loko. I think the modern part is the speed in which it all happens with the internet. I have seen the jokes on occasions before I have heard the story they are based on!
She's deleted it now and claimed it was a 'Twitter rape'. Halle Alexander @HalleAlexander · 55m How pathetic that Barnsley tweet to me when my friend went on my iPad and tweeted that! its called a joke and being twitter rapped
I don't think it's an entirely modern phenomenon, but it has increased with the spread of mobiles/internet etc. But then again so has "mourning sickness" and some people's need to express grief over anything that could be considered sad regardless of whether or not they are actually emotionally affected by it. Someone could probably write an interesting study examining both aspects. FAOD this is not a comment about Williams specifically or suggesting anyone on here is being false in their sentiments, I know that his work has a broad appeal and means a lot to many people (myself included). It's just that I often see some people (on facebook particularly) posting cloyingly sentimental things just for the sake of being "caring".
Ahhhhh, the old "it wasn't me I was twitter raped" excuse. I stand by my earlier comment regarding brightness.
Is it? Oh. Well then, she's obviously allowed some of these 'weirdos' to follow her. Again, I refer back to the brightness or indeed lack of. Do you know, some clubs now do 'social media' training for players? And whilst we are here, regards twitter, I've just read that Emannuel Frimpong has been discarded by Sturm Graz. Didn't make the grade. Shock/horror. http://sportreport.biz/2014/08/12/sturm-graz-emmanuel-frimpong-wird-nicht-verpflichtet/
Most definitely lying. Among other tweets she made a further joke later on about 'attention seeking like Mrs Doubtfire'. It made little sense though.
Whoa.....wind yer necks in guys....are you forgetting something here.......... a comeadian takes the piss out of anything and everything.....death..... cancer....suicide.... to name but a few.....he who lives by the sword expects to die by the sword to some its unacceptable....to others its black humour....to a comedian its subject matter...no matter what. yes its sad that someones just taken their own life....however are you trying to take the moral high ground and become polictically correct, or are you just wanting to have a dig at the lass Do you think for one minute that through out Robin 's time on stage he himself hasnt took the piss out of some one elses down fall. i honestly dont know what this world is coming to when folk so easily take folk to task for their throw away comments. wonder how many who are quick to jump on the bandwagon can honestly say they at no time have ever come out or repeated joke type comments about someone elses downfall. i shake my head in disbelieve ....lighten up . i now sit back and await the abuse....whilst some one trys to tell me im so wrong......in my thinking... but before you do let me point out a few things.... Laughter is the best medicne.... and my shoulders are big enough to take the abuse thrown. Lol ........ plus i can guarantee before long there will be a lot worst comments flying about.
By the power of Google Translate, for all us not as multi lingual as Whitey. Reads like a Hemsworth post, but you get the gist... Midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong is not taken from Bundesliga Sturm Graz under contract. The 22-year-old had been trained at the end of June at the Styrian the sample. How to tell Sturm Graz on Tuesday morning via Facebook Emmanuel Frimpong is already on the way home. As the sporting future of the 22-year-old looks is open. Emmanuel Frimpong received his football education at Arsenal London. For the Gunners denied the 22-year-old 16 games (including 6 Premiere League and five in the Champions League). Last kicked the midfielder at FC Barnsley Glittering career at Forest Green awaits..
And picking an argument with a new young player's girlfriend helps the club in what way? With the move and everything she's probably feeling a bit vulnerable anyway.
Arr but look at her, with her pouty smile and make up on. Who does she think she is ? The good old welcoming internet tarn fans will soon put her in her place.
I find the joke insensitive and unfunny. But my main reason for posting was its a slow day at work and I was interested to see what the reaction would be.
Yeah, you're right. Poor little lamb. I do hope her shoe collection made the move in one piece #prayforhalle
