Hell hath no fury like . . . . . .journalists and Twitter feeds . . . . .
Ever get the feeling you have been played?
Ahh the power of the press, yellow journalism and the strength of mass reactionary drone's following social media. Twitter . . .What IS the past participle of tweet? Oh yeah that's TWAT!
On the strength of reporting someone high up in Academe saying something really silly at a conference this professor (Prof Tim Hunt) has lost several jobs. Now of course that someone says something stupid at conference is no rarity (whatever your gender eh ladies? Ever do anything daft at conference?.) but tweeting comments in seconds and accusing them of being "Victorian" (ooh BURN!) is a sign of the times and of course there are digital ezines likely to pick up the snot rag and run with it. Note 'Vagenda' . . . . See what they did there? SO funny!
Start a hashtag #disconcertinglysexy. There then followed an outcry from these women of science who could scarcely have reacted more predictably. Dance dance DANCE! You know NOT looking distractingly sexy in photos . . Ha ha ha SO funny
I know let's keep the pressure up until the Nobel Laureate Professor has no jobs at all! Completely unemployed! let's see if we can make them do that by morning shall we?
Ha ha ha ha . . . . . .
But he didn't actually say women were "distractingly sexy"? No we did! Better sound bite. Oh is that exactly fair? Who cares? Well he talked about falling in love not sex. Meh! He talked about women needing to be tougher and furthering their position in Science and maybe it would help to have segregated labs! Wasn't that ironic? Wasn't he trying to be funny? You know like the damp wet rag who called him Victorian?
Well yeah but that's beside the point the game is to see whether first we can get him to lose ALL his jobs and a side plate of 'can we get it on the front page of the papers'?
Job done! How many points did I get? What can we play next!
First one to get a topless photo of the 'girl' who took her kecks off on a sacred mountain!
First interview? Nah! Too easy . . . . . . .
