Adam Buxton commits Twittercide

[hobbsy]

RIP Adam Buxton's Twitter account @AdamBuxton1

Dear Twitizens. Deeply grateful to those who elected to follow but it's just not for me. I came I saw, I twitted, I quitted. Love Adam

Dammit, why?!

[Retinend]

Thank god for that. Well done Buxton, I say,

I liked his story of "tweeting" in character as a racist Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino. Was Joe asking if it was Graham Linehan that had said for Adam to delete the comment? I think I heard him say Graham.

[benjula]

yeah it was graham

[PeepingTom]

I've not seen Gran Torino so didn't know what he was going on about, but I guessed he was riffing on something. Was it the 'Gooks' bit he removed (can't look at work).

[marktobias]

If he had a tweet up about gooks then that was definitely the one He's closed his twitter page so you can't look at it anyway now. I hope it was Graham Linehan that told him to take it down "or you would regret it". Linehan is all over teh internets (meaning he's very internet savvy)

[The Saltman]

It was something along the lines of "I'm going to have a wank now. HRRRMMM!" (still in character as Clint). I assume he was told to take it down because lazy journos are now taking twitter stuff as gospel and reporting it as fact.

[benjula]

yup it was 'i'm going to have a wank"
