Stephen Colbert Wins ‘Golden Tweet’

Ashton Kutcher has nothing on Stephen Colbert. This week, the funny man (Colbert, that is) won Twitter's first annual Golden Tweet award for the most re-tweeted one-liner: "In honor of oil-soaked birds, 'tweets' are now 'gurgles.' http://bit.ly/cIhZNf"

Ashton Kutcher has nothing on Stephen Colbert. This week, the funny man (Colbert, that is) won Twitter’s first annual Golden Tweet award for the most re-tweeted one-liner: “In honor of oil-soaked birds, ‘tweets’ are now ‘gurgles.’ http://bit.ly/cIhZNf” Obviously sent out at the peak of BP’s colossal crisis, it was a call to garner support for the Address the Mess campaign launched over at Comedy Central (hence the bit.ly), “the network’s new pro-social campaign is committed to showing viewers easy ways to reduce waste, improve their lives and help revive the planet.”

Colbert wasn’t the only one doing his best to bring a touch of humor to the Gulf Coast grossness. Remember the BP PR imposter, also on Twitter? Then there were the Hollywood chime-ins. Oh lord.

Congrats, Colbert! Add that to your impressive list of honors (including things/teams/space station treadmills named after you), you patriotic pillar of comedy! Methodshop loves you … and so does America.

Check out his acceptance speech below. Highlight: “To all the others that lost out to me this year, and especially Kanye West, I just want to say it has been an honor just to have crushed you.” Word.
