Chris Brown is Twitter’s Lastest Victim

The Twitter killer is at it again, and its latest victim is someone who, in all honesty, the Twitter Killer should’ve targeted after first. At least that way, we would’ve been spared from seeing his Grammy performance. Way to go, CBS. Glorifying a woman beater like that. What’s next? A lifetime achievement award for the now-deceased Ike Taylor for the way he “trained” Tina Turner?

Anyway, Brown is the latest victim of the “RIP _____” Twitter trend, which is great in and of itself because Chris Brown bashing never gets old. I’m sorry, I have no empathy for someone who beats the crap out of a woman, no matter how many misguided Twitter users say it’s OK, like these tween sycophants right here:

Perhaps Twitter should start a new service for the tween generation only. That way, the signal-to-noise ratio would improve. Rapidly. Anyway, as for the Twitter Killer claiming Chris Brown as its latest victim, Twitter had fun with that, too. In fact, it every time one of these RIP trends pop up, there’s a race to see who can be the wittiest in relation to “Twitter has killed more people than ____” tweets. See for yourself:

And then there are those who like to have some fun, especially at the expense of a person like Chris Brown:

Some, however, have tried to bastardize the trend, saying “RIP” stands for “Real Inspiring Person.” Sigh. To that, all I can do is echo the following:

Good times, good times.

I wonder how all those wonder-geniuses who would let Chris Brown punch them — you know, because he’s so fine, or something — feel now that their hero is being absolutely ridiculed on Twitter yet again? Are they mourning the “loss” of such a fine, upstanding member of our society?
