Modern culture in microcosm - a sociological survey using the medium of tweets sent by vacuous public figures
- Like many people I mainly spend my time on twitter watching celebrities being stupid. To aid me in this laudable objective I have set up a number of twitter lists where I gather celebrity tweets in one useful place. I have a list of Micky Flanagan fans, for example, which comprises a list - primarily of celebrities - who look like they probably like Micky Flanagan.
My principal list is the list of vacuous public figures which, as the name implies, includes the tweets of public figures who are vacuous. The list comprises the loose droppings of the detritus of modern life, a microcosm of everything that is wrong with today. It is the sort of stuff that a future chronicler will use in his or her history of the decline and fall of celebrity culture. This evening the list was enlivened by three of the principal willy wavers of the modern age, engaging in a heated discussion about who was best. 
@realDonaldTrump RT Scottish don't want wind turbines........I think you have that wrong . The Scottish don't want you !- @realDonaldTrump RT: in my opinion you should not be doing the apprentice........well you have NO SAY in that. The British like me not you
- @realDonaldTrump the ugly windmills will bring more revenue and green power to Scotland than your golf project
Sugar: @Lord_Sugar—unlike you, I own The Apprentice. You were never successful enough...- @realDonaldTrump you approved me! What a load of rubbish dream on You don't own apprentice Mark Burnett does. Shut up and argue with Obama
- @realDonaldTrump success is measured with what you have in business.I own all my real estate with no bank borrowing how about you big shot?
- @realDonaldTrump you only have 1.9m followers with 350m population in the US does that reflect your popularity?
- @realDonaldTrump RT: you have little persona .......in England we say the pot calling the kettle black . You have had a charisma bypass
Hahaha, LOVE this > RT @realDonaldTrump: Sugar: @Lord_Sugar—unlike you, I own The Apprentice. You were never successful enough...- @piersmorgan trump owns the apprentice hah hah just like I own Arsenal . Or to put it another way like you are the biggest star on US TV
- Don't wish to interfere obviously @realDonaldTrump - but it may be time to fire @Lord_Sugar from YOUR show for his impertinence?
- @piersmorgan @realdonaldtrump RT: time for you to fire him from your show.......let's see if the big shot can stop me doing the apprentice
- Greatest tweet of all time... hahahahahahahaha > @realDonaldTrump: Drop to your knees, Sugar, and say thank you, Mr. Trump.
- @piersmorgan @Lord_Sugar I easily could but as long as Sugar is making me money (it's my show) I won't--unlike Sugar, I'm not stupid!
- @realDonaldTrump @piersmorgan you are full of sh.. Trump you have no power over the UK apprentice, just like the Scottish people .
