Womens World Cup Final Lead to Obvious and Stupid Pearl Harbor Jokes on Twitter

Posted on July 17, 2011 by Ernie

Oh, Twitter: come to microblog about the lunch you had today, stay to see the tweets on the Women’s World Cup Final against the United States and Japan happening right now — and roll your eyes at the oh-too-predictable Pearl Harbor jokes. So many, in fact, that “Pearl Harbor” is now a trending topic along with #worldcupfinal.

For what it’s worth, we here at 8Asians think that if you’re going to be offensive and racist and hit below the belt, the least you could do is make a tsunami or nuclear meltdown reference; I mean, at least that shit was more recent, right?

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .
(Nah, it's cool; just take me back.)
