Every day, we receive a hundred or so Tweets mentioning @DMagazine. A lot are people telling me that I’m doing a terrible job, and I print those out and bring them to my psychiatrist. Many of the others are PR people pitching us stories. Today’s finest is just bizarre:

The link in the tweet is to the site Cherry on Top, which dubs itself “Hip Hop With a Cherry on Top.” I do not know what that means. The story itself is about how a woman is gearing herself up to testify that Deion Sanders conspired to hide money from Pilar Sanders, so during their divorce proceedings it would seem like he wasn’t as well-off as he was. Over the past hour, Pilar Sanders has sent that link no less than 22 times, to a wide range of entities:
– Reverend Al Sharpton
– The Daily Show
– race car driver Danica Patrick
– Target
– the Texas Education Agency
– Survivor host Jeff Probst
– Samuel L. Jackson
– DL Hughley
– Men’s Health magazine
– Hugh Jackman
– every single Sony entity imaginable
– World Wrestling Entertainment
– Cash Money Books, a book imprint by the record label that brought you “Back That Azz Up”
– CNN
and
– Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott
Public opinion? CORNERED.
