My son tweeted something that got him in trouble with Twitter last Sunday
Twitter tries to police its users. I'm not a Twitterer so I'm not sure how it all works. Perhaps private messages aren't censored like public messages.

Anyway, the Eagles kicked a field goal and were still a couple of scores behind the Cowboys. The Eagles official Twitter account tweeted something congratulatory about the field goal. In his frustration, my son responded to the tweet with something like "Eagles are still down by a bunch. Go kill yourself."

A bot immediately sent a tweet back to the Eagles twitter page telling it that it was still loved and had value or something like that to discourage suicide. We thought it was hilarious.

Also, my son got suspended for a week.
