Adult High School
The first thing I want to address is the Twitter beefing. I don’t like it, I don’t like the social network fighting in general, I think it’s senseless and displays a lack of maturity on the behalf of the participants. Numerous incidents that have resulted in violence, and in some cases death, have been started on social media sites.
I like to refer Facebook and Twitter, the two most popular social network sites respectively, as an adult high school, or huge college lounge or cafeteria. I realized that it was mainly the high school and college students that made those two websites so immensely popular, but I’m not talking about them. I’m referring to the grown folks who participate in the gossip and the nonsense that creates some of the trouble that occurs on those websites. Don’t get me wrong, I like the concept of social networking, I think the need everyone feels to share their ideas with as many as people as possible, has now become an essential part of our society. But to reading and looking at senseless chatter all day seems more comprehensive and appropriate for teenagers than it does for middle aged adults.
Which brings me to Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr.; the two exchange a war of words and pictures on Twitter, going back and forth like two teenage girls fighting over a boy. It was a bad look for both businessmen, who had just recently formed a promotion company called TMT Promotions (The Money Team Promotions)
