The Dilemma Of Tweet-shedding

The democratically elected government of Pakistan, with the passage of time has developed an unusual love-hate relationship with social network websites – most notably, Facebook and Twitter.

First it was the 2010 ban of Facebook, when one of its pages featured blasphemous caricatures of Prophet Muhammad. The PTA, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority made sure it banned all of Facebook for everyone in Pakistan. The latest now, was the ban on Twitter where apparently because of ‘contentious content’, the PTA exercised its authority and shut it down.

Kourtney Kardashian And ‘Teen Mom’ Farrah Abraham Locked In Twitter Feud

December 6, 2011 Leave a comment

Kourtney Kardashian And 'Teen Mom' Farrah Abraham Locked In Twitter FeudWe have a love/hate relationship with Twitter celebrity feuds. On the one hand, it’s entirely entertaining to watch public figures spatter back and forth over social media. On the other hand, it’s a bit sickening that we care so much about what they have to say – as 99% of the time the fight is over something less compelling than the cereal we had for breakfast this morning.

Regardless of which side of the coin you fall on (or if you’re a bit conflicted like us), this Twitter feud between “Teen Mom” cast member Farrah Abraham and Kourtney Kardashian is pretty funny. Some of the other Kardashians got involved too, which always makes things more interesting.

The whole thing started with Abraham’s embarrassingly self-absorbed tweet about Kardashian’s second pregnancy.
