Who’s laughing now? (Why are there DUMB people on Twitter?)

Who’s laughing now?
Why are there DUMB people on Twitter?

It’s been a while since I started using Twitter and so far I’ve been enjoying the site and the environment (meaning the users’ attitudes) UNTIL just almost two weeks ago some no-brainers made Tweets that I guess deserve to be reported as (place a word here that would be an adjective that equates the summation of dumb, abusive, insensitive, illogical, fucking non-sense and what have you). It was so insensitive, inconsiderate and utterly dumb, per se.

Ring any bell now?

Let me refresh you; the weekend before the previous weekend to this weekend was a tragic one for most Filipinos especially for most of the residents of Manila and nearby cities and towns. In less than a day’s time, a rain amounting to a total of a month precipitation poured in the metro (that’s more than the rain waters the Hurricane Katrina brought to the US!), causing flood that’s, at least, knee high and at max, two floors of a house high. Billions of properties and proprieties were lost. Hundreds of lives where lost.

Then there came this TWEET.
Happily news casting to the world that the Philippines is indeed flooded and happily hoping that rain don’t stop so that those ‘monkeys’ hopefully drown and die.

Very nice, ayt?
One of the dumbest tweets I have ever encountered, and hope to not encounter anymore.
It’s so insensitive and so no-brainer right? Who would in his humane mind mock a nation that is in a great distress as if what has happened is nothing but a vaudeville joke that deserves a laugh more than a helping hand. Sad, sad, sad.

I just hope those Koreans know how their fellow Koreans are treated here in the Philippines. I guess they haven’t yet heard of Filipino hospitality, I wonder if they ever know what hospitality means, after all their English tutors are ‘monkeys’ right?

Brats! Nothing but low class brats; I am a brat, I know that, and I am proud to say that I only am bratty if people don’t treat me well. I guess those no-brainers now know who they are actually mocking. If you haven’t yet heard, a huge number of Twitter users made it clear to those no-brainers that they’re hitting on a wall, a huge sturdy wall of ‘monkeys’ that has brains, of ‘monkeys’ that knows English more than good.

At the end of the day; I don’t hate Koreans but I am certain I hate those who made and those who commented & liked those Tweets that are obviously written by ‘real monkeys’ that think below the astuteness of those they call ‘monkeys’. Right?

Who’s laughing now?
