#AddaWordRuinaMovie: The Most Fun I've Ever Had on Twitter
This weekend, #addawordruinamovie started trending on Twitter. Then, it went viral. The premise is simple. You add a word to a movie title that would change the movie for the worst. Millions of people around the globe joined the fun. Because I like reading and writing funny words, #addawordruinamovie was the second most entertaining thing that happened over my weekend. It came in second only because I saw Paul Reiser, one of my comedy idols, perform on Saturday night. (Mad About You is my favorite TV show. Forever and ever.)
Since I threw hours down this hole instead of working towards meeting one of the half-dozen writing deadlines looming over my head, one of which included writing a blog, I thought, why let these words go to waste?
