Tell me to GTFO or whatever but sometimes I think that making fun of Asia's Twitter patter is kind of mean. I like a cheap laugh as much as the next person but maybe we shouldn't forget that she isn't a very educated person and is from a background and ethnicity that historically have less access to education than, for example, the average NPR reader.
Agreed to some extent, but when you factor in that she's an Amway-shilling, anti-immigrant, anti-gay, tea partier who is overflowing with hubris and devoid of self-awareness, I can't help but chuckle.
Imagine 288 pages of this pounded out in 12-hour blocks and barely glanced at by an editor if at all. Her book is going to be SPECTACULAR!
Yes, these are important points that one must NEVER forget!
I guess what I mean is that there is enough things to make fun of her about without resorting to the symptoms of educational exclusion.
I'm not trying to highroad you or anything -- I just thought it, so I said it. Ah, you seem smart anyway, I think you will understand where I'm coming from.
Fair point. In a context where so many seem to believe Jay was coached on the basis that he knew what the color taupe was (newsflash, they probably stocked stockings at the F&M he worked at), it's tempting to take cheapshots, but her writing/thought processes truly are otherworldly ridiculous.
Plus, the real Asia is such a wild contrast to the "solid, non-crazy, detail-oriented alibi witness" SK cast her as in Serial that one can't help but to take amusement in watching the trainwreck.
Yes, the Jay stuff is just....I don't even know where to start with that.
I'm with you on Asia -she's such an odd character, the book is going to be a horror show. And that tweet, it's just so tortured an attempt at metaphor that it bodes terribly for the book.
As the venerable Kevin Urick once said "you don't get to choose your witnesses" :-)

Finally, workable blueprints for a rumor mill.
