FUNNY: Mutant Activists Decry Michael Bay's TMNT Sacrilege On Twitter

Blockbuster director Michael Bay’s recent comment that his upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot would feature an "alien race" of ninjas — instead of those with mutant origins — had many fans splintering with rage. Even former Turtles voice actor Robbie Rist chimed in, chiding Bay for “sodomizing” fans' early childhoods.

Rist wasn't the only mutant goo loyalist to pipe up. Twitter saw its fair share of free speech aimed at bringing the Turtles back to earth. Here are ten:

1. “WTF Michael Bay is turning the Ninja Turtles into aliens!? What next they will remake Karate Kid and have him learn Kung Fu … Oh wait :S” — @GEMWINTER
