Really, Kanye?

Texting in bed?

It happens about once every couple weeks or so. Kanye West takes to his Twitter to once again to remind us why he’s the most colorful tweeter in the game, or sometimes just the biggest idiot in the world.

Last Friday, West tweeted “I just fucked Kim so hard”.

The tweet was deleted a few hours later, probably courteous of a certain Hollywood power mom and potential future mother-in-law Kardashian.

The problem here isn’t an illustrious, alliterated couple enjoying a healthy sex life.
The problem here is that Twitter does not need to be used to state the obvious.
 
Let’s all remember the olden days, think 2006 or so, when we used Facebook to proclaim we were, “Having an awesome day and thinking about eating a Panini! <3 *<3.”

The pre-adolescent to high school demographic is the most notorious criminal of stating the painfully apparent. We all did it. We all regret it. But most of us have, hopefully, left those days behind.

It seems West is still stuck sharing heaps of useless information.

Limiting its users to a measly 140 characters, you might argue Twitter was created to share the obvious and mundane.

It’s just not so.

Nobody cares what you’re having for lunch. Nobody cares how hard it is to wake up in morning. Why? Because we’re all doing it.

While they can never be massively applied, Twitter users should conduct themselves by an unspoken, universal set of laws.

Either attempt to be funny, constructively allocate opinions or share the bizarre.
Tweets should be few and far between.

Not every single event that happens to you in a day merits being broadcast to the masses.

That includes if you’re fornicating with your chosen sex partner, celebrity or not.
Kanye had better be having great sex. Can you imagine how massively his lyrical content would shift if he couldn’t?

But Kanye should deliver his sexual escapades through his rhymes, not his trigger-happy tweeting fingertips.

Shockingly enough, he’s much more eloquent rapper than he is a tweeter.

Alas, Kanye’s 8.5 million followers shouldn’t be too quick to click the unfollow button.
Even if he is occasionally annoying, you can’t deny the entertainment value of his antics.

Plus, you never know when he’s going to tweet something glorious. Please see his posts regarding beef-flavored pineapples or his misspelling of the word genius.
Unadulterated brilliance.
