Steve Martins tweet

[blue matt]

So Steve Martain has had a " backlash " with his tweet about Carrie

“When I was a young man, Carrie Fisher was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen, She turned out to be witty and bright as well.”

I guess the Lefties, LGBT's and a.n.other faux Outrage lot were the main cause of the " backlash "

I have just read a tweet saying it " objectified her "

when will it end ? ? ? will we ever get back to being able to say anything without offending someone somewhere ? ? ?

I'd like to see this backlash? Assuming they there was actually a backlash and not just one or two disapproving tweets.

As a leftie I don' t have a problem with what he said. How do you know the political persuasion of the complainants btw?Oh and are you a right wing hanger and flogger?

[Wales-Bales]

His statement is logically correct, you cannot determine a person's intelligence and personality just from their looks. I'd be inclined to blame the education system for churning out legions of dumb halfwits

I googled it, and the only faux outrage I can see is from people offended by the alleged response to his tweet. It's like a great big , non existent, cyberspace faux outrage roundabout with everyone getting offended by everyone else.
