		<description><![CDATA[<p>Sometime last night, just before taking off from work for the day, we became <a href="https://twitter.com/JessicaKRoy/status/299653281796485120">convinced</a> that human fender bender Amanda Bynes had hacked our Twitter account.</p>
<p>Maybe "hacked" is too strong of a word, but it seemed like this troubled celebrity had somehow mastered Twitter in a way that tech reporters hadn't.</p>
<p><!--more-->It happened like this: BuzzFeed writer Louis Peitzman <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/louispeitzman/twitter-bug-makes-you-love-amanda-bynes-whether-you-want-to">noticed</a> that when you scrolled down to the first tweet on Amanda Bynes' Twitter profile, something bizarre happened. Love her or hate her or have no opinion about her whatsoever, Ms. Bynes' Twitter made it appear as if you--or whoever's Twitter account you were logged into--had tweeted some extremely complimentary things about her.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_78855" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 526px"><a href="http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/screen-shot-2013-02-07-at-5-53-40-pm.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-78855" alt="Def did not tweet this." src="http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/screen-shot-2013-02-07-at-5-53-40-pm.png" width="516" height="114" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Def did not tweet this.</p></div></p>
<p>The whole thing reminded us of that old AIM trick, where you'd plug %n into your away message and it would automatically replace it with the username of whoever was viewing your profile.</p>
<p>As it turns out, Amanda Bynes wasn't the only celebrity whose profile made it appear as if the user had tweeted nice things about them. In fact, the Twitter profiles of Kanye West and Chris Brown were both <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/louispeitzman/twitter-bug-makes-you-love-amanda-bynes-whether-you-want-to">displaying</a> the same bug.</p>
<p>Twitter <a href="http://status.twitter.com/post/42539886184/profile-viewing-issue?01c103a0">released</a> a statement soon after BuzzFeed pointed out the problem, saying that it had resolved the issue. "While scrolling through another user’s profile, it falsely appeared to the viewer that the user had retweeted a Tweet that the viewer hadn’t actually sent," read the statement.</p>
<p>This all strikes us as mildly bizarre, though: for one, why was it only happening to celebrities? It wasn't relegated solely to verified accounts, as Ms. Bynes' account wasn't yet verified. And it also didn't appear to have to do with follower counts, as lesser-known Twitter personalities with big followings but little name cache didn't appear to have the bug.</p>
<p>Whatever the case, we're happy to have all history of our prior faux adoration of Amanda Bynes wiped from the Twitter archives.</p>

<p>All-around awful person and <a href="http://hypervocal.com/news/2012/chris-brown-twitter-misogyny/">talented Twitter troll</a> Chris Brown has deleted his Twitter account following an ugly spat with comedian Jenny Johnson. When Ms. Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272781897095069697">attacked</a> Brown for his misogynistic tweets, the infamous singer responded with a sexually-charged, just-what-you'd-expect-from-Chris-Brown <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272785403797458944">tweet</a>: "Take them teeth out when u Sucking my dick HOE."</p>
<p><!--more-->As you can see in the Storify below, the feud quickly <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1697871/chris-brown-delets-twitter-jenny-johnson.jhtml">escalated</a> from there, with Brown devolving into his typical scatological "humor" to fight back against. Johnson, who has been known over the years to call him out for his <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/chris-brown-convicted-felon">felonious past</a>.</p>
<p>"I should fart while ur giving me top," he <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272786027972792322">tweeted</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272791084898324480">followed</a> by "mom says hello... She told me not to shart in ur mouth, wanted me to shit right on the retina." Hypervocal, which nabbed a screenshot of Brown's Twitter feed before he shut it down, <a href="http://hypervocal.com/news/2012/chris-brown-twitter-misogyny/">reports</a> that he ended the fight with the classy tweets, "If u can take a dick, u can take a joke" and "Let me leave this bitch alone ... it's good to know my worth by listening to a bitch that is worthless! #win #bushpigswag."</p>
<p>Despite the fact that Brown decamped from Twitter, his devoted #TeamBreezy fans remain to defend his honor. “According to Team Breezy, if you have a difference of opinion with someone, ‘eating a dick’ is the cure for any and all problems,” Ms. Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272895747245084672">tweeted</a> this morning.</p>
<p>Though Ms. Johnson has managed to maintain a sense of humor about the whole debacle, Team Breezy fans appear to be taking the feud to a new noxious level. "It's alarming how many death threats I'm receiving via @ replies. I encourage everyone, including <a href="https://twitter.com/twitter">@<b>Twitter</b></a> to look through them," she <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/273052650537381888">tweeted</a>. "Not cool."</p>
