Trending Topic of The Week
This week on Twitter, we are tied for the two funniest, most unusual or most fun trending topics of the week. If you are a frequent poster, you most likely noticed the trending topic #IfPreciousHadATwitter. While there were several thousand tweets that trended this topic, the number one tweeter was offended by it, and obviously associates the character “Precious” with the actress, Gabourey
Sidibe.
His response was, “Why is #ifprecioushadatwitter a TT…SMH; Big Jokes huh..So is her money, Bigger than ya’lls..Salty much!!” which was retreated well over 100 times both times he posted it, so obviously he is not alone. This is common with celebrities that play strong characters such as Precious. It is sometimes easy to forget that Precious is a fictional character and is clearly not in any way related to the intelligent and poised Ms. Sidibe except for the fact that she brought her to life on the big screen for millions to see, garnering her an Academy Award Nomination on her first role. There is no argument as to whether or not Ms. Sidibe has “bigger money” than most of the posters of the trending topic in question.
However, Precious was quite poor and certainly didn’t have “bigger money” or even a computer. In fact, there wasn’t even an AOL when that story was set (late 80s). While we appreciate that you took up for her, it’s easy to guess that Ms. Sidibe isn’t affected by the tweet in any way.
On the other hand, countless others posted funny anecdotes about the topic and the second highest post in response was by actor, Gary Busey. He said, “#IfPreciousHadATwitter her user name would be @The_Last_Chairbender.” His response was closer to the overall feel of the evening of 6/29, when the trend made the list of top hash tags.
The second one that got a lot of action was straight comedy. It was #GetOutTheRelationship. There is an endless list of reasons to bail on a not-so-hot squeeze and there were many of them covered. On 6/29, tweeters were chirping about relationship woes that would have been sad, had they not been so damn funny.
The top tweet was by comedian Katt Williams. In his own witty style, he tweeted, “if she is unwilling to learn how to roll a blunt#getouttherelationship” said as only Katt Williams could. It was retweeted over 100 times. Next in line was by a tweeter member who apparently aspires to be a pimp (hey, it was his username, don’t look at us). His tweet was surprisingly sensible. “#GetOutTheRelationship if ur still checking up on ur ex. Ur not over ur last relationship so don’t jump into a new one.” There’s a lot of truth to that one, despite the fact this his career goal is to prostitute women and take their money.
