Twitter is quickly becoming the new Facebook. We all love to see and hear what our friends, and even celebrities, are doing, so why not follow them on Twitter? I am here to show you the funny and controversial things that these people post on Twitter for everyone to see. After all, their mistakes do make us laugh.
Kim Kardashian
Now this is ironic. Today, I decided I was going to blog about Kim Kardashian and I just found out, via Twitter, that Kim's new season of Kourtney and Kim Take New York was airing tonight. Just thought i'd share that. Anyways, Kim has been the root of a lot of controversy lately. She made a reported $18 million of her fairytale wedding this year. Turns out, she only stayed married for 72 days to her now ex-husband Kris Humphries. But as you know, this blog is about Twitter. So as you may have guessed, Kim dropped some tweets that ended up causing a lot of controversy.
Most of us are unaware that there could possibly a federal air marshal on our flight. Air marshals are assigned to flights as a last resort to stopping terrorist attacks, being able to make arrests and carry a gun. These air marshals are supposed to blend in with the passengers to not be identified. But when you run into Kim Kardashian, your chances of being identified as an air marshal apparently go way up. Kardashian was on a flight to Los Angeles and became intrigued by her neighbor. So she logged on to Twitter while in the air to share her impressions. "I'm on the airplane...love wifi! I am sitting next to an Air Marshall [sic]! Jim the air marshall [sic] makes me feel safe!" Kardashian wrote. Kardashian has 3 million followers on Twitter, think of how many people saw that tweet. They're supposed to keep their identities concealed so by her doing that, she could have gotten in a lot of trouble. Kardashian later apologized for her mistake.
It can be said that Kardashian's text was very spontaneous. She quickly decided to tweet and thought nothing about it before hitting send. This is the opposite of what is called euplastic text. Euplastic text, as described by behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner, is carefully designed and edited text. Euplastic text is usually used in blogs and any e-text because the text can be edited and changed whenever you want. Even if in social networking sites euplastic text isnt used, Kardashian should definitely think about what she is going to say next time before she hits send, because that kind of stuff could have gotten her in a lot of trouble. #Keepyoursecretstoyourself
