I enjoy Benson’s podcast but he’s a prick and downright creepy on twitter.

Never heard of Benson.

He is a stoner man-child. Only familiar with him through the Carolla podcast

I don’t like Benson and am unfamiliar with Hardwick

Never heard of Benson.Hardwick is the tool who fucks up every episode of The Walking Dead with a mid-episode interruption to shill The Talking Dead.

seriously?

Seriously. Was a whole big back-and-forth with his audience about it. Told me it was “way above his head” re bots.

Today (December 13, 2012) @NYJets has 513,944 followers

But half of those are some variation on @JMcIntyre.

I am famous, thus I have a lot of followers, thus I am smarter than non-famous people. Duh
Holy shit Doug Benson and Chris Hardwick are both sctrojans!

Is that really the type of stuff they say? I don’t like Benson and am unfamiliar with Hardwick

Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, whom I follow for no discernible reason, went through a period where he would only reply to people with a certain number of followers. I tried to tell him what a bot was and it didn’t go well.

do these doods have any thoughts on tonights game?

Disregarding the fact that I’m clinically retarded apparently, and I ruined a really funny joke: I’ve done pretty well picking against Philly this year. Unless a lot of guys all the sudden returned, I’ll probably lay the points, even on the road with Cincy.

Pickem has it -3.5 though, which is bullshit. Seems like a clean 3 to me (apparently up to 4-5 now)

Plenty of people on Fiverr you can go to for Twitter followers, 10k fakes for a few bucks. Chances are the Jets’ social media person is judged partially on followers and thought it’d be a cheap way to look good to his manager.
