PFac has a bet going right now at his Twitter If he can get to 500,000 followers, his friend has to dance to Single Ladies in the middle of the street. If he loses, he loses the canvas backing to his Twilight set chair. Unfortunately, due to the whole situation in Iran, he's not been getting as much attention, and his list of followers seems to fluctuate. Last night, he tweeted this:



Since then, it's been deleted. He posted an apology, of course, eating shit, but then he THANKED AND LOL'D at somone saying @peterfacinelli Oh, quit apologizing. People are so touchy it's ridiculous. As if the Iranian election depends on what you say on Twitter. Of course now the apology tweet has been deleted. But I have caps!

The damage had already been done, however, since people began using the #iranelection hash tag to promote him And, of course, bringing up the "@peterfacinelli" search results brings up TONS OF STUPID like:

@peterfacinelli Stop apologising. If people can't work out the difference between the Iranian election & a bet, then they shouldn't be here!

of course there's people in the world that ruin the fun :( i wasn't at all offended, and I don't believe they were either.

New Twitter users can be over-sensitive. Us old-timers know better (back from when we had to walk 5 mi in the snow to tweet)

Hurrah for actual sparkle-wank!

His joke? Does not bother me.

The people offended by his joke? Have a valid point.

The people saying, "Oh, never mind those silly party-poopers"? Can go screw a pine cone up their anuses.

So much yes. And it happens so often, too, doesn't it? I'm usually not that annoyed at people until their fans come out and start reassuring them.

Eh, I'm glad I unfollowed him yesterday, he was being damn irritating before he even said that.

"I think that Twitter's boards got crossed w/the Iran election. I may be the new president of Iran and they may have my Twitter followers."

I wish EVERY tweet ended with Keyboard Cat!

The only thing that offends me about his joke is that he deleted it.

People are breaking Twitter down into "old-timers" and "newbies"? Twitter? Seriously? OLD-TIME TWITS? That's hilarious!
