FUNNY: Twitter Campaigns For Big Bird

We’re both amused and sad to report that the most memorable moment of last night’s Presidential debate was Mitt Romney‘s Big Bird death threat, which sent social media spiraling and dumped salt on a wound inflicted by Barack Obama‘s perceived loss to a man who non-ironically lists Sesame Street budget cuts on his otherwise vague agenda. Former Gov. Romney promised to slash funding to what he deems to be non-essential items, including PBS, Big Bird and the network’s debate moderator Jim Lehrer: “I’m sorry Jim. I’m gonna stop the subsidy to PBS. I’m gonna stop other things,” said the Republican candidate. “I like PBS, I like Big Bird, I actually like you too,” he assured — but the damage was done. A Twitter user immediately created a @FiredBigBird account, which quickly amassed 10K followers, and a Facebook counterpart started the “Big Bird For President” page, which was liked by 500 others. Generating 17,000 tweets per minute, the phrase Big Bird managed to make the debate the most tweeted about political event in U.S. history, according to spokeswoman Rachael Horwitz and the Twitter Government account @gov. Glad to see we’ve got our priorities straight, people. Check out Uinterview’s Top 10 Funniest Tweets About Big Bird:
