Culture: Serious business: Demi Moore got a suicide threat Tweet

  • Her fans stepped in to intervene. Last night, Demi Moore received a tweet from someone threatening to kill themselves. One of Moore’s fans called (not tweeted) the authorities, who put the woman in the hospital for a 72-hour psychological evaluation. And Moore, Ashton Kutcher’s wife and uber-tweeter, apparently sent a message thanking her fans for responding so quickly to the tweet. Nice work guys! source

They’re going Twitter-only. Among the new technologies they’re launching include “Gutter,” a collaboration with Twitter that will filter out all notable liberal opinion. We wish them the best. Also, in other news, our rent would be due today if we lived in London. source
