Ashton Kutcher attacked online over defending Paterno
Ashton Kutcher will no longer write all his own Tweets, after being attacked over posts he made online.

The actor defended fired Penn State University football coach and alleged paedophile, Joe Paterno, via the social networking site a couple of days ago, and was angrily attacked by other tweeters.

After writing: 'How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan I find it in poor taste', Ashton was met with responses including: 'F—k you. He covered up child rape you sick geriatric f—k.'

The 33-year-old deleted his original post and apologised, but has released a long-winded letter on his website stating that he will no longer manage his own Twitter account. "While I will continue to express myself through @Aplusk I'm going to turn the management of the feed over to my team at Katalyst Media to ensure the quality of it's content."

8. I don't think anyone is accusing Joe Paterno of being a Pedophile. Sandusky, yes, but not Paterno.

9. That doesn't make any sense!
He turns over his own twitter account to someone else to manage because he is saying stupid things? You'd think it would be the opposite of that.

Might as well give it up then if it's known that someone else is doing all the tweeting. That's stupid.

13. His bride is much older than he is...I think that's where they're going.
It's a slam at the difference in age between him and Demi Moore.

14. Ah...

11. why is this clown even famous?
As far as I can tell, all he's acted as are a dimwit in that 70s show, a prankster in a cheesy live show, and he married an older woman.

At least Kardashian and Hilton make porn.
