Jeremy Clarkson has decided that “Britain is a nation of 62 million complete and utter bastards.” Why? Well, he thought that it would be a good idea to announce via Twitter that his dog had died, and was then surprised when his 503,861 followers made jokes about it.
I’m not going to be a real meanie and say “Well, he deserves it because
he’s such a horrible, horrible person.” (But he is.) I will, however, make the
point that Twitter serves as a mirror. It’s not as if the people who saw his
tweets about a dead dog were picked at random. They were all people who had chosen
to follow him. And if you were the kind of person who says stupid things all
the time in the hopes of getting a reaction, what would you expect?
If Oprah wrote about a sad event on Twitter, she would probably get a
number of weirdo replies, because she’s famous and freaks go with the
territory. However, I suspect most of her followers would probably react with
sympathy, because dog-hating thugs don’t often subscribe to tweets such as "I'm ready
to be an instrument. Thank you for an inspiring, spirit filled, blessed #SuperSoulSunday."
So Mr Clarkson, time for a long hard look at the kind of person
YOU are?
