Also, Twitter has had its fun with the scandal as many around the world are commenting on the event. There are hashtags ranging from #FreeBieber to #DeportBieber.. Quite amusing if you ask me. In my opinion, some of the best tweets came from our favorite comedic celebrities, including Will Ferrell and Seth Rogen. See their posts below.
Despite the laughs and the harmless ego shots at Justin Bieber.. This sort of event raises a few questions. Has social media opened the flood gates for dark humor? I believe so.. And honestly I usually thoroughly enjoy it. The immense wit and sarcastic posts that surface from these celebrity life events are typically pretty hysterical. With sites like Buzzfeed, Bullet Media, Bitches Love This and others in combination with the widespread sharing and retweeting amongst peers, society is constantly exposed to a colossal amount of 'lighthearted hatred', if you will. Do you think this sort of trend desensitizes our generations? I'm not sure, but I believe it's something worth thinking on.
Do you think the cop who arrested him thought to himself "twitter is going to have a field day, while also frantically tweeting the first comment on the situation?" But all kidding aside, I think it's a good thing that we can all see each others opinions on a situation like this and I'm glad it's mostly lighthearted kidding. Social media isn't something that should be serious even half the time, but a creative and fun outlet for people.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Miley and Justin are battling it for the most media attention they can get. However, I don't understand why people seem to still love Miley even though she deliberately and consistently makes questionable and ridiculous decisions. This is J Beeb's first real mess up; hopefully for him this isn't just the beginning of a downward spiral of his entire career. Those screenshots were hilarious by the way.
