This was my attitude, but now that tweeting isn’t hip, I might sign up. My change in attitude has nothing to do with Hayley Williams’ boobies.

Well, I looked up the pic. It’s practically SFW!

Sorry Miss Williams, I do enjoy following your tweets, but I’m a breast man. 🙂

Although that is a misnomer.

Again, sorry Miss Williams, but if you are gonna put it, them, out there…

Don’t blame her boobs, that’s just how God made them. Then she “accidentally” posted that to her Twitter. Don’t you guys hate when that happens?

I know I do. It happens to me on a daily basis. It’s really getting old.

I actually believe her- If I were going to display the goods to a few million people, I would make sure they were looking their best.

I am so unhip, I haven’t even heard of many of the people posted.

[Kaye West](http://twitter.com/kanyewest) just got a Twitter a few days ago and it’s about as random and odd as you’d imagine. I can’t stop laughing at how random every Tweet is. Makes my day, it does!

**BreakingNews** is a news service. gives me headlines w/o going to a news website. If it is something worth my while, I go looking further.

Personally, I think following _no_ stars is the answer; with the exception that you definitely follow **Stink Fish Pot**

I think the correct term is ‘tweet’ - but ‘twitter’ ‘tweet’ or ‘twit’ all just spell ‘fucked up’ to me.

Having just gotten your account and not knowing what to do with it, cancel it now while you’re ahead.

Not every Twitter account is for real. Besides the outright fakers, there are **Twitterary** tweets. If a star can’t be bothered to do her own tweets, she’ll hire a Twitterary to do it for her. You might be hanging on her every word, but you’re reading a low-paid thumbworker.

Back in May, I posted about [FEMINIST HULK](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=563838)’s twitter feed. Again, I don’t do twitter, but if I did, I’d follow her/him/it. Very amusing…

Of all the places on the web, this is probably the last I would’ve expected to find out about Paramore chick getting them out…
