Jesus Tweets
ABS-CBN
By Arlene Burgos
HEAVEN - This is not the Jesus all those weekend catechism classes prepared you for. For one, he drinks Hennessy. He's also into body-building: his Twitter wall picture depicts him with muscles bulging, ripping himself off from the cross. This is ‘Jesus_M_Christ,’ possibly among the fastest rising celebrities in the social media site Twitter these days. He advertises a hash tag (Twitter tags) for a particular topic and people use it. He has, to date, 69,223 followers, 902 updates, and has been listed 2,290 times since he started tweeting April 15, 2009. The account bio says, “You know who I am. If not, google me (@#!).” He follows 22 people, among them two US presidents – the verified account of the incumbent, Barack Obama, and an unverified Bill Clinton account. “Dad flooded the Earth on accident. He got carried away making it rain in the club,” ‘Jesus_M_Christ’ said Thursday. This is possibly the only Jesus Christ Twitter account that made it this far. At least 4 other accounts bearing similar names have failed to attract followers. The only other Twitter account that comes close to the success of Jesus_M_Christ’ is the one named ‘Jesus.’ Created on Oct. 14, 2006, it attracted 176,112 followers, has been listed 5,158 times, and follows no one. But it has only 214 updates. The account’s bio says the owner is “Carpenter, Healer, God.” [link]
