By now you have heard of the horrible tragedy of the Malaysian Airlines flight that was shot down over the Ukraine. You may have also heard of Jason Biggs very unfunny joke about the disaster. Now the Orange is the New Black actor has apologized for his horrible tweet...sort of.
Jason Biggs roused the anger of many when he tweeted a very bad joke about the Malaysian Airlines disaster:
“Anyone wanna buy my Malaysian Airlines frequent flier miles?”
Biggs went on to post a slightly more sensitive tweet:
“In all seriousness, tho- HOW DO YOU MISTAKENLY SHOOT DOWN A COMMERCIAL PLANE?! Ugh. It's saddest for the victims and their families, obviously. But Malaysia Airlines is apparently a GREAT airline. Gonna be tough to recover.”
After being called out for his tweets, Biggs went on the defensive, adding:
“Hey all you ‘too soon’ a**holes- it's a f*****g joke. You don't have to think it's funny, or even be on my twitter page at all. The idea that I wouldn't have any empathy 4 the victims or their families because I make a joke is absolutely ridiculous. U know that, right? Truly- you losers are literally trying to find s**t to get angry about. Channel your issues elsewhere.”
Biggs latter went on the defend the use of humor in times of stress and tragedy:
“I hope I can laugh during my family tragedy 2!”
Now Biggs has abandoned the defences and deleted the tweet, apologizing in a long string of post:
“1). Hey all- ok, so- I am deleting my previous tweets. People were offended, and that was not my intent. Sorry to those of you that were.
“2). This is obviously a horrible tragedy, and everyone-including myself- is sad and angry about it. Sending positive thoughts to the
“3). victims and their families. P.S. No one is making me send these tweets- I simply understand that my comments might have come off
“4). as insensitive and ill-timed. For that, I apologize.”
