Gone in 60 Seconds

February 1st, 2010

The original 1974 version of “Gone in 60 Seconds” was a totally crap movie, and the most awesome car chase film in the history of moving pictures. Don’t watch the remake, it’s even bigger crap than the original, with none of the awesomeness.

The crappy dialogue of either movie was a kajillion times better than the sewage spewed into this twitter stream:

Of course, we had to respond:

Hi Steve @resultscarpet my name is TwitterFail. You are the spammer asshat bot fail of the day. Your suspension is looming.

Why do we say this? Because in the wonderful self-correcting world that is twitter, the tweeps respond.

We’re pretty sure this isn’t the type of activity Steve was hoping for:





The trick is to get them laughing with you, not at you, Steve.

The ones who weren’t laughing at Steve struck back:





Twitter will soon be rid of Steve, because every one of these tweeps has a “block” button (and his phone number, BTW – smart one Steve). As soon as enough people report the spam and block old Stevie, he’ll be a distant blip on the screen.

That’s not as satisfying as crumpled metal and screeching tires, so, if you’ll excuse us, we’ve got a date with Eleanor.

 

Thanks to @_T_a_y_ for the alert!
