Twitter is not good for much except lulz, but those it delivers well, as documented by j1m0ne, a seiyuublogger. Apparently, Mr. Hirasawa mentioned Yui on his twitter and received tens of thousands of followers (bet he had the follower notification by e-mail enabled too). I'm a bit surprised though. He …

The post at Hontou Ni includes a useful round-up of reactions, albeit with an inevitable bit of pick-and-choose (he could've linked my opening post instead of ripping from a random place). Is the backrub part not trashy? What is it then, a pinnacle of comedy?
