Malkin's worst nightmare

Reminds me of that guy with a last name "Kennery" or something and the guy looks vaguely like JFK so whenever he posts something political. Conservatives jump in like "Oh yeah well your relative killed a woman in Chappaquiddick so shut your face"

Several years back, there was a wide receiver Brandon Marshall, and a linebacker Brandon Marshall. Whenever the wide receiver didn’t do well, the linebacker got tweets about ruining their fantasy team.The Linebacker got revenge by kneeling for the National Anthem, for which the wide receiver got angry tweets.

I think when Ian Watkins from Lostprophets was in the news for being a pedophile there was another Ian Watkins on twitter copping a lot of misdirected hate.

Even better, it was Welsh pop singer Ian Watkins getting misidentified as Welsh pop singer Ian Watkins.

What's worse is that Ian 'H' Watkins was far more famous that the molester guy, so even if he adopted a new name, his old name/photo would always come up in search results.

quote:

Mr Watkins won a court apology earlier this week after website E! Online used his picture on a story about the abuse case.
Unlike typical news websites, Google News is not managed by a human editor, instead using complex algorithms to determine the importance and relevance of stories posted on news websites around the world.

Google's algorithm appeared to be unable to differentiate between the two cases, taking a picture - from a BBC News article about the E! apology - and pairing it with a separate article by CBS News about the abuse. A Google spokesman added: "For some specific searches Ian H Watkins' picture is appearing in our results because he is relevant to the story, having received a court apology.

Good ol' google.

If you change your keyboard layout to US International you should be able to use AltGr (the right alt key) + Shift + 4 to type a pound symbol.

It’s the dissonance of both feelings at once

I had a lot of awful jokes run through my head but I don't actually hate Kevin James I'm just not a fan of his and the current climate has made me feel we shouldn't ever trivialise anything awful because shitheads turn irony into reality and this is our world.

I apologise, this wasn't a good tweet at all. I'll shut up and see if that keyboard shortcut works.
