Ashton Kutcher Tweet: Support for JoePa Forces Kutcher into Twitter Retirement

Ashton Kutcher has retired from the Twitter world after he was ripped apart for cranking out a tweet criticizing Penn State for firing Joe Paterno.

He inserted his foot into his mouth, patted himself on the back for being anti-child molestation, said he was retiring from Twitter and then did the dumbest thing imaginable—he tried to cover his tracks by claiming he had not caught wind of the scandal.

Kutcher claimed in a statement that he was unaware of the happenings at Penn State when he initially produced the tweet that started this entire mess.

Kutcher, the sports buff, the man constantly in the media himself, somehow didn't know that the biggest scandal in college football history was going down?

Really?

He claims he initially thought JoePa was canned for his poor performance on the field. Penn State is 8-1 and in the hunt for the Big Ten championship. Did that somehow elude Kutcher or does he feel that anything aside from an unblemished record is considered unacceptable?

He was handing over his Twitter account to be managed by the people at Katalyst. That's probably the right move. Maybe it will keep him from voicing his unpopular stance, backtracking and then trying to play it off like he was buried in ignorance, therefore not responsible for his initial stance.

This entire debacle is a joke. Kutcher saying he isn't capable of handling his own Twitter account is a cop-out the general public should reject just as readily as it rejects the hilarious statement Kutcher concocted to try to cover up the mess he made.
