Professional comedian turns professional boxer
after being criticized on twitter. In an article I read on Mashable.com a
comedian, Dan Nainan, got into a physical altercation at a comedy club with
reporter Josh Rogin. Rogin, who didn’t enjoy the comics brand of humor
appealing, decided to take his opinion to twitter and social blast Nainan’s
humorless act to the masses. Displeased with the reporter’s take, Nainan
decided to take action into his own hands, by assaulting the reporter at his
next show. In the end, Nainan was
charged with a simple assault and the reporter was left with a bruised face and
who knows maybe a bruised ego. The thing I find interesting in this topic is
that instead of responding on twitter, like most would do, the comedian took
the violent path and simple tweets turned into to a physical altercation.
The question that I can’t seem to answer is,
is this type of behavior normal? Are differences held between people on
twitter, facebook, instagram or any other type of social media being played out
offline? Nainan is a comedian, it only makes sense in my head that he would
tweet Rogin back with some funny material discrediting his statements. When all
is said and done the moral of the story here is watch what you tweet someone
might not think it’s funny.
