Entangled in the unenviable web of sexual abuse charges, Joe Paterno, Jerry Sandusky and Graham Spanier weren’t the only ones who landed in hot water this week. Instead of responding to the scandal's facts, actor Ashton Kutcher fired off an errant tweet that fueled a firestorm of Net rage.
Oblivious to the legal stickiness, Kutcher posted “How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan I find it in poor taste" at a rattling rate. Ok, so it’s normal for sports-obsessed boys and men to pout about anything and everything athletic but wasn’t Demi’s hubby taught as a child to think before he speaks?! Without fail, the Nikon Camera pitchman should’ve familiarized himself with the subject prior to exposing his ignorance in the ultra public forum of Twitterdom. If keeping your Twitter groove in today's new school world of instant communication still invokes a question, take heed from an old school mama: Slow your finger roll and think before you tweet.

For this, Ashton should be a Twitter retiree. Bet he didn't rush to tweet about Demi's divorce filing. LOL! Good advice to which many should adhere.
