Pitbull and your daily Twitter death hoax

http://twitter.com/#!/akshay_daryani/status/206081947007590400
Twitter has had more fictional deaths than the entire Die Hard franchise combined. A new one popped up today, all fresh and ready for worldwide trending. Twitter’s been blowing up with the rumor that rapper/pop singer Pitbull has died, with no real evidence on Google News, or from celebrities who know the man himself, or anyone else who might actually be considered credible.

Tired of the trend yet? We collected some  tweets from this new hoax, ranging from gripes about the “RIP (insert celebrity name here)” fad, to disappointment that this one’s actually a hoax. Take a look:

Looked at the Worldwide trends, and I found RIP Pitbull. I wish! Anyone who finds Pitbull as a Really Inspiring Person is really stupid! Soz

RIP Pitbull? Welcome to Twitter where celebrities die on a daily basis.

— Tee♥ (@DigameForever) May 25, 2012

RIP Pitbull? He's not dead and he's not really inspiring person, then why is it trending?

#GOPartyofwomen: No ‘Julias’ here

http://twitter.com/#!/gopfirecracker/status/228174962672943104
 

Bingo. Conservatives don’t reduce women to the sum of their girly bits only. They honor and respect women as, you know, individuals. What a concept!

Yesterday, conservative women on Twitter explained how gun control zealots are waging a real war on women.

Dems are the party of women if you think women shouldn't be allowed to carry guns for self-defense. #GOPartyofwomen

— Leah (@oooitsleah) July 25, 2012

They would rather have victims than empowered women arming themselves. Today, more women are speaking out and letting others know that the GOP is the party for women.

Going 2 take some strong women 2 clean up the House & Senate! @sarah_steelman @Martha4Congress @RepSandyAdams @MiaBLove @Karen4Congress

— Amy Kremer (@AmyKremer) July 25, 2012

This is not the party of “Julias,” dependent upon and enslaved by the government.

@gopfirecracker If Dems are party of feminists, why do they encourage government dependence? #GOPartyofWomen

— mam646 (@mam646) July 25, 2012

#GOPartyofwomen If Dems were party for women they wouldn't want you to be dependent on Gov as a lifestyle @gopfirecracker

— suzanne ostrowski (@suzost) July 25, 2012

GOP is the party of women because they don't see women as dumb, helpless, pitiful little creatures. #GOPartyofwomen

— Mitch Mansfield (@MMansfield68) July 25, 2012

Unlike Democrats, who simply condescendingly pat women on their purty, little heads. They know what’s best, you see, you silly dears!

If the Dems are the "party of women," why is ALWAYS liberals that call me and other women "c***s?" #GOPartyofwomen

— Leah (@oooitsleah) July 25, 2012

I had a lib friend who created a Twitter account proclaiming to be against Misogyny. Half his tweets were vile attacks on #GOPartyofwomen.

— Bud Stowe (@BudmansCom) July 25, 2012

Indeed. Like the saying goes, scratch a lefty and find a misogynist. We at Twitchy have documented that time and time again.

Conservative men, on the other hand, are far more secure and appreciate strong women who do not shroud themselves in veils of victim-hood.

I love conservative women because they're beautiful, fun, intelligent, God fearing, like guns and believe in the sanctity of life. #tcot

— Justen Charters (@JustenCharters) July 25, 2012

#Fact: Conservative men love strong women. Especially those who have the courage & confidence to own, operate & carry firearms. #tcot

— Vile Koch Myrmidon (@heatpacker) July 25, 2012

You’ve come a long way, baby! If you realize that women need Democrats like fish need bicycles.

Better grab your hankies, folks. Piers is having a really rough day:
http://twitter.com/#!/piersmorgan/status/425714874857959424
Awww … poor baby. When there’s a deadly shooting at a school or on a college campus, as there was earlier today at Purdue, it’s Piers who really suffers.

What a pathetic, selfish little man.

29 Reasons You Should Never Go To The South Of France

                                            <b>So clich&Atilde;&copy;.</b>                                                          

1. People have this idea that the south of France is some kind of heaven on earth.

2. Like it’s this coastal paradise with unparalleled views.

Bertl123 / Getty Images

3. People say it’s positively magical.

Elementals / Getty Images

4. But the truth is…

5. It’s just not that special.

Bluejayphoto / Getty Images

6. First of all, it’s so out of date.

Anerix / Getty Images

7. EVERYTHING is uphill.

Bluejayphoto / Getty Images

8. And the food is just way too rich.

9. Honestly, how is this necessary?

10. The countryside would be nice…

Jvdwolf / Getty Images

11. If it wasn’t ruined by all the quaint little villages.

Timsaxon / Getty Images

12. It’s way too easy to get lost in all the little back streets.

Ballun / Getty Images

13. St Tropez is a god-awful garbage dump.

Liligraphie / Getty Images

14. It has absolutely no charm.

Bangkaewphoto / Getty Images

15. And the views are just the worst.

Venakr / Getty Images

16. If you go there, you basically have to have a boat.

Stevanzz / Getty Images

17. And you’re forced to venture out on that disconcertingly blue water.

Janoka82 / Getty Images

18. I mean what’s the deal with the Cote D’Azure?

19. Nobody asked for this.

20. If you get too far from the beach, then you have all of the unnatural wildlife to deal with.

21. And you’ll probably get accidentally drenched in some secret waterfall.

22. There’s just nothing remotely interesting about the natural landscape.

23. It’s basically a wasteland.

Jackjelly / Getty Images

24. The historical landmarks leave a lot to be desired.

25. The wineries might as well close their doors, because what even is this?

27. More like CAN U NOT?

28. Honestly, what are people thinking?

29. This place is abhorrent and you should never, ever go there.

Obama inspired by auto worker who won the lottery but kept coming to work

http://twitter.com/#!/AJELive/status/243906663969611776
Naturally, Twitter couldn’t resist having a little fun with this:

Could've left and saved someone else's job. Greedy 1 percenter. RT @jimgeraghty: Lottery winners give Obama hope!

— Matthew Hoy (@hoystory) September 7, 2012

Shorter Obama: If everyone in America wins the lottery, we're set.

— Mark Hemingway (@Heminator) September 7, 2012

The lottery gives Obama hope? The lottery, where your bet ALWAYS exceeds your expected payout? That pretty much sums up the stimulus bill.

— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) September 7, 2012

BREAKING I will now vote for #Obama because I hope I win the lottery like that autoworker did! #DNC2012

— Vincent Wagner (@DrGizmore) September 7, 2012

Hey, maybe Obama was trying to tell us that he plays lotto?

Obama: gains hope from worker who wins lottery. Hoping he will too?

GOP debate turns to Donald Trump’s assets within 10 minutes

The Republican race has become uglier than usual in the past week, with Marco Rubio taking a cue from Donald Trump and hitting back with personal insults ranging from Trump’sspray tan tothe size of his hands. Trump, confident as ever, was happy to hold up his hands and, if this weren’t live TV, might have lowered his trousers as well all within the first 10 minutes of the debate.
