Run! The Great Twitter Mouseover Hack Is Eating Your Cheese! And Human Babies!
BREAKING NEWS. SIRENS. ETC. Twitter destroyed! America panics! My God, it's full of spam! So we hereby declare today to be National Go Read A Gosh-Darned Book Day. Stop your inane, virus-shedding Tweeting and go consume some paper!
The best part of today is everyone's urgent Tweets about how everyone should avoid Twitter. We urge you to go look for yourself. *Evil cackle* No but seriously, now how will we get our urgent recaps of America's fine television shows?
What's Twitter?
"Fine Television Shows"… from Monday Night, other than Football? Assuming I did have my own branch on the Twittard Twee, would anyone really need to hear a recap of Antiques Roadshow? (There is no need to miss anything on PBS anymore, ever, as they are now in the digital-TV era of the multiple-channel neverending rerun business.)
Hawaii 5-0!!!! and that fat people show!!!!
Dancing With the (not-so) Stars was on last night and I found myself twitting about it. I feel so ashamed this morning.
Don't feel ashamed, hockeymom! I truly believe the medium's best use is for live-tweeting teevee (and, you know, dispatching news coverage of the revolution). Recaps .. now that is just trivial.
Also, WRT Yucko/PBS multiple channels: you guys, I have a tragic situation on my hands. I have internet piped in through the cable, which splits off from my little wifi device and plugs into my trusty CRT TV (it has a built in VCR!), giving me the the freebies. Now, I thought that because I have this cable thing pumping my stories from this nice mom & pop shop called Comcast, I didn't have to worry about converter boxes and merrily pitched my Jansen rabbit ears, pffting the coupons for a converter box. But .. but .. now my channels are dropping like flies! Apparently just because I have a cord plugging into my TV doesn't mean I get digital dispatches, and now I have lost half of my PBS and all of my America's Test Kitchen.
Everyone was so worried about the old people who mute the commercials not knowing what happened to their signals, but what about the forgotten and overlooked victims like myself? How will I learn how to make the best pumpkin pie and country potato salad now?
Our game during Dancing…Stars was to flip across it and try to guess which was the star and and which the professional dancer. (Hint: watch the footwork.)
@garge: I am gathering that you are getting the free cable that they have to give you when you buy internet service from them? Comcast may have a set-top box that you must use to get their signal properly (digital TV or not).
I just filled the bathtub full of water, and am now checking the expiration dates on my closet full of canned goods.
Know where I can get a cheap, no-paper-trail Desert Eagle?

Okay now can Balk declare today a National Sneak Away for a Drink Day so I can go get tanked at lunch and finish the newest bit of Tudor trash I'm reading???
Lots of twspam?!? Twfuck!
People already read the Mad Men Footnotes here, no need to keep passive-aggressively shilling it.
Adding mouseover code constitutes "The Great ___ Hack" now? That stuff is on pretty much every link on the internet ever, you know.
The Armageddon will not be Angelina-Jolie-in-a-pixie-cut themed. At least not today.
It's great by the virtue of being on Twitter. Didn't you get that Tweet?
