Twitter: It should be Illegal (#itshouldbeillegal)

>> Sunday, October 25, 2009

Reginald James on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/reginaldjamesThis evening - while waiting on my Mac laptop to stop crapping out on me -- I joined a trending topic on Twitter: #itshouldbeillegal.

Now for my non-Tweeting folks, a trending topic is a popular topic on Twitter. So popular, it becomes a trend. People from all over jump in and add their spin.

Most folks talked about things that annoyed them, while others proposed actual laws, policies. I spent most of my time doing the latter.

Courtesy ofhttp://www.twitter.com/reginaldjames, here are some of my favorites that I posted to Twitter:
#itshouldbeillegal to listen to Glenn Beck and operate heavy machinery.
#itshouldbeillegal to play Plies "Becky" during daylight hours (esp. afterschool)
#itshouldbeillegal for police officers' misconduct hearing records to be deemed confidential and NOT disclosed to the public. (Copley Press)
#itshouldbeillegal for men to poke other men on Facebook.
#itshouldbeillegal for white folks to say, "I have plenty of Black friends" after making racist statements
