NP Rank:
Twitter TV Show A No-Go, So Much for Summoning the Twitterazzi
Is Twitter coming to a TV near you?
UPDATE | May 26th — Nope it ain't. Not according to Twitter founder @Biz:
Just to be clear, Twitter is not making a television show. Some Hollywood folks are developing something that leverages Twitter and they are extremely enthusiastic as evidenced by all the media hubbub yesterday and today. We have little to do with their efforts but we wish them success.
PREVIOUSLY — In a woop-dee-doo, fun-filled format that perfectly reflects the most banal, and plastinated parts of our narcissistweet culture, the show will put Twitter users in head-to-head battles "on the trail of celebrities".
The "competition", such as it is, sounds like little more than a platform to propagate the latest instantiation of celebrity-hungry stalkers in an exciting and new format.
Beware.
The coming of the Twitterazzi is upon us...
The social-networking service has teamed with Reveille productions and Brillstein (BRILL'-steen) Entertainment to develop an unscripted series based on the site, which invites brief, 140-character postings from members all over the world.
The show would harness Twitter to put players on the trail of celebrities in a competitive format.

WAKE UP Little Lambs! Let's break the Silence. The war, the economy, the green house effect and AIDS are all raging while you are busy trying to get a peek at the crack of some poor (figuratively "poor" DOG-DAMMIT!) celebs big brown eye! (Don't you hate it when you can anticipate the droning response of ignorance and you have to try to clarify what would already be clear to them what really hear?) WAKE UP! It's sick. Do we not demonstrate how utterly foolish and lifeless the average American/human is in our so-called developed nations by mindlessly adding to the already over-indulgent, repugnant and perverse obsession we have with mere human beings we've dubbed "stars"? Get a life...or give it up already. The obsession has gone far too far for far too long. Too many of us live to watch the lives of others. We do this just because they have obtained a level of extraordinary visibility or "stardom". If you ask me, the ones that are really "dumb" are the bovine-star-gazers, posers and greasy-lipped sycophants. News Flash SHEEPLE: They are just people. They defecate and urinate just like you do. They are merely fortunate and maybe have gained a bit of fame, garnered a bit of notoriety and/or made some money. For that we should idolize and kiss someone's arse? We should obsess over a person simply because he or she has fame and money that we basically granted them? WHY?! It's a bit backwards if you ask me, but you didn't so stop reading my spit right now! BOO! Maybe they married into the spotlight, eh? The poor Princess died in a fiery tunnel crash due to all of this buffoonery! WE chased her to her death for a quick shot of her love life cause I guess we've none of our own. It's a shame how very few of us are getting laid. If more of us were, there would not be so many vultures "paparazziying" and getting paid. Leave them alone for spit's sake. When I heard the latest news on the rabid dogs that are now hunting down the surrogate mother of a celebrity couple's unborn twin girls, I just wanted to vomit. Now the 'raterazzi' are putting unborn children's lives at stake. They don't care. They don't care because WE don't care. WE could stop this. Look at what that celebrity just had to go through with them taking her poor mother out of the senior care facility that she had her in. The woman is suffering from dementia and some wick-wad has to go and do something like that? Are we all just "cool w/ that"? Well, I ain't dammiT! He should be tied to a pole and thrashed in the square. Oops! Sorry, I guess we'd all rather watch the king of slop rip the fleshy blankets off babies' heads. I know some think that because they are celebrities, they are fair game, but I just do not plucking agree. There are limits. Now this so-called "Twitterazzi" smack is just hell-dog-bound to take things down to another whole depraved and possibly dangerous level. Are you that bored SHEEPLE? Try dying! Open a vein or two for added drama and excitement. Watch a lit candle flicker to some music as you dooz-it. Die. Your misery and a lot of others shall finally flick the fluck OUT. And before you step up to make some asinine comment because this post has hit some pig-nerve in your mediocre, obsessive, wanna-be, talent-less, hollow cerebellum; if the shoe fits tear it off, wear it and stick up your pop-eating arse! So who's my lil twitterpated 'no-who-sis'? Step up comment lil blitch & say, "OOOO....OOOO...ME!" ya loserzzzzzz...
