and it was f***in' Twitter!

I forgot that I had signed up to it.

I used it only for promotion gimmicks when I'm entering for a raffle and prereq is to tweet the companies promo.

So for a couple of months now I've been getting all this mail from Twitter thanking me for Middle Eastern friends I've been adding and suggesting me more.

Today I get a letter that, more or less, advises that Twitter believes my account has been hi-jacked so I sigh and take the time to finally have a look and I've got my own gosh darned Jihad going on.

Aside from that numerous Asians yelling at me in Chinese and some porn slop.

I think this is good example as any to teach your kids not to rely on internet communication for a social life - If I was still young, vulnerable and had any serious attachment to this crap I woulda hung myself from a ceiling fan.

A jihad, Asians yelling at you and some porn slop.

Sounds like a Terry Gilliam movie.

Meh, so they found the new password, got back in and added over a thousand people to my follow list.

Twitter emailed me to inform they locked the account but logging in confirmed that Twitter failed to lock it so I closed it.
