The Collected Bad Twitter

Deadspin writer Drew Magary enjoys himself some Roger Ebert tweets. But he does not enjoy  himself some Roger Ebert "poetry" re-tweets. And so Magary has put together a compendium of poetry from Twitter accounts far and wide (including Night Court star John Larroquette). Turns out that some people write poorly.  Who knew?  Enjoy:

There are Twitter feeds like this all over the place, featuring 140-character works of twiterature so painfully earnest, so brutally flowery, that I don't know whether or not to fall over laughing or put my fist through the fucking screen. A little girl was sad because her imaginary friend died. INNOCENCE IS LOST FOREVER. WITH GROWTH COMES DEATH. I fear for the day Natasha's child discovers a broken toy in her box of Lucky Charms. The resulting flurry of sad tweets could potentially be the next "Howl". Or not.
