I don't agree.

When I first saw Brad Pitt, I thought he was gorgeous, but stupid.

Now the only difference is that he's not gorgeous anymore.

What in the world? He is being honest about his first impression of her as a normal guy with a sex drive. He saw her onscreen before getting to know her as a person. You don't see someone's personality at first glance. People are so quick to get out the pitchforks these days! Especially on Twitter.

The offended are growing in popularity it seems.

This isn't about anything more than the usual crap surrounding social media. What the hell does anyone expect from a forum that invites all opinions to the fore? We used to have news services that may have interviewed some notable types when another celeb had died, now, like our "tweeter in chief," we rely on crap like twitter for news and then complain when it begins to smell like barroom BS. People need to grow up and ditch social media..

He complimented her. What is with wrong with people now? Every word seems to be fighting words lately. Non stop anger from every direction. And it gets only worse daily.

Without realizing it, you have stated what some see as the problem. We are not living "back in his day."

I never thought he was funny so not at all a fan of him but I don't see anything wrong with his tweet. Maybe it was the word "creature" that got people's panties in a bunch but a lot of people use that word. It's a figure of speech.

Exactly. He didnt say he was surprised to find out she was witty and smart. He just found out once he got to know her. That's different .

Sheesh people!!! I don't find his tweet in the least bit offensive, Carrie herself more than likely would have gotten a chuckle out of it.
