The Steve Martin Tweet

Steve Martin was forced by fans, to remove a tweet marking the passing of Carrie Fisher.

Now before you read it, you need to keep in mind who is tweeting and who the tweet is about.  Both very funny people and the message had nothing but good intentions.

This is the tweet.

Personally I don’t know what is more offensive.  The compliment, or the compliment.

After it was tweeted the internet lost its collective mind, fans called the comment sexist and hurtful.  There was even an article in The Cut magazine describing how the tweet is extremely bad.

Like I said, Steve Martin removed the tweet after being bombarded by the internet.  I wish we could ground the internet.

But what do you think?  Is it over the line? Or good fun?
