Daft Limmy made a joke about Charles Manson but not everyone got it
Over on Twitter @DaftLimmy likes winding people up.
Oh my God, nothing pleases me more than winding people up. It's like it opens up the veins in my head and all this oxygen rushes in.

And he appears to have excelled even his own high standards with this tweet in the wake of the death of murderer and cult leader, Charles Manson.
Had the pleasure of meeting Charles Manson at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

The replies are genuine comedy gold.

Dunno how folk don't know who he is by now. Some genuine rage.
— Gastro Celtic (@Gastro_Celtic) November 20, 2017
Even if you don't know who he is, he clearly never met Manson at a "charity do". Some of the replies suggest they actually think he had canapés wi Limmy.

Not everyone appreciated it, as you might imagine. Here’s just a selection of the most furious and/or downright confused.

Did you really just try to humanize a serial killer?

I had the pleasure of watching Manson & family beg for freedom for forty years.

As a fisherman you really should know bait when you see it

— Bria (@TooGorgeous_Xox) November 20, 2017
He didn’t, actually.

Your right – but he still is dead and that's awesome.

How many charity dos did you attend before 1971? Manson has been in prison for 46 years.
— Neville Spiers (@NevilleSpiers) November 20, 2017
It was one of those in-house prison style charity dos. Remember it well, Manson was on top form. He really did love an audience.

Most psychopaths seem tot be pleasant people. It's part of their game of manipulation. Looks like he succeeded with you.

We get the joke, guys. It's not exactly secret code. We got it when it was Chris Cornell, too.

Pass the memo on wouldya

I'd love to @tigerrrboy but most of my fellow Americans wouldn't listen unless I put bacon on a fishing rod and promised them free guns.
— Misty Dawn Smith (@MorningBellMist) November 20, 2017
Here’s what Limmy said later.
I should reply to this, saying that I'm sorry and didn't mean to cause offence. They love that. Like sharks smelling blood. Like hyenas. Beg for forgiveness, watch them spunk in their drawers at not giving it. https://t.co/yDPQN3R9eE
— Limmy (@DaftLimmy) November 20, 2017
I am very sorry about any offence this caused. It was just a joke.

In conclusion …
Is there a LIKE ALL button for the replies?
