Twitter in Focus: Mr. T
on January 15, 2014 at 12:01 amYo, bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus, where media comes to die. Today’s contestant is Mr. T and I defy you to read his tweets in anyone else’s voice but his. I once interviewed Mr. T on my old TV show many years ago. Let’s see how much more awesome he is.
December 12th: “Can a fiddler crab really play the fiddle?”
Can Mr. T make iced tea? Has he met Ice-T? Would Mr. T serve Ice-T iced tea?
December 14th: “They took prayer out of schools and guns came in. Let us pray!”
Dear Lord, send everyone a bulletproof vest.
December 19th: “To all the students at James Hedges Elementary School (@HedgesSchool), Chicago, IL., I had a great time! Keep up the good work! Mr. T”
Remember kids, Mr. T singlehandedly won the Cold War by punching Dolf Lungren. Plus he did this.
December 23rd: “Merry Christmas…Happy Birthday JESUS!”
Sounds like he was surprised at the end of that tweet.
December 27th: “Have a blessed New Year!”
Trying, Mr. T. And I also pray that this is the year that you get the rest of the letters for your name.
December 31st: “Have a happy, a safe and a blessed New Year!”
I pity the fool that don’t have a happy, safe, blessed New Year!
January 10th: “Jack be nimble, Jack be quick…wait a minute, where’s Jack’s parents, letting him play with fire?”
That’s because Jack is high on drugs. Don’t do drugs, kids. Or you’ll be jumping over candlesticks too!
January 13th: “What would happen if a Fool wore a thinking cap?”
Kaboom! Mind blown.
1 hour ago: “Happy birthday Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Thank you for all that you have done!”
Not to diminish MLK Day, but a Mr. T Day would be amazing. We could all dress up in gold jewelry, give ourselves mohawks and pity fools all day long.
Okay, let’s rate Mr. T’s tweets. I give Mr. T a 7 for Mustness, a 9 for Insanity and a 10 for Style. Thanks an overall score of 8.6, but I’m rounding that up to a 9 because I want to fool! Follow T!
