Your comment is pretty offensive.

Kind of agree here. The following would have been sufficient and probably more accurate:

    check vapid? check limited vocabulary limited to inane 
    comments? check

    this person works as a PR? you don't saaaaaaaaaaaaay

Stephen Fry put it better than I could:

It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that", as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I'm offended by that." Well, so fucking what?'

It's totally fair for people to go crazy and "turn ugly" on her on Twitter, she has cultivated her entire professional image via Twitter and other social media.

Live by the Twitter, die by the Twitter.

Interesting world and times we live in. Somehow, though, I can't shake the feeling that it's all manufactured, however unlikely that may be. I mean, how could someone be SO out of touch?

On the plus side, it's bringing awareness to a real issue that's often brushed under the rug by most.
