Gah. The app developer thinks it was funny? Maybe someone could point out how the first thinly veiled death threat appears less than half a dozen comments into the comment thread on the story.
OTOH, nobody from Mississippi has appeared here yet to complain about how badly I'm misrepresenting them. ;-)
I shall now retreat to my Smug Bastion of Gay Nerditude and throw rainbow stock options at the troglodytes.
omg why did I click on the comments section to that article? ouch wtf That's exactly what I thought. And I'm can't have booze again yet, so no drowning the memory urk.
Unless I un-check the "Repost to Twitter" box under LJ's Reply box (which I can only see when I switch the LOLMac layout to "Style=mine"), all my replies are auto-Tweeted with the subject line OR the first 121 characters of my reply + 1 space + an 18-character shortened URL.
I sometimes forget that there's so much violent hatred & homophobia in the world (and online) because I live in a comfortable bubble of friends who share the same beliefs & morés.
Maybe I'm confused -- I thought you went back after each daily auto-post has autoposted to LJ, and renamed the roundup post from 'My Tweets' to some suitably pithy or wordy item from the day's list. I was more than half expecting to see 'Smug bastion of nerditude' and/or 'Rainbow stock options for troglodytes' turn up in that context. That's all.

UPDATE: Google caves to pressure, removes "Is My Son Gay?" app which was commissioned as publicity for an upcoming book with the same title:
