Twitter suspends page of NBC critic

Its a harsh harsh world, in 140 characters that is.  A heavily vocal critic of NBC [Guy Adams] found himself without a Twitter page yesterday after he openly took to the social network bashing NBC and its host for its seriously-crappy  television coverage of the Olympic Games.

“Am I alone in wondering why NBColympics think its [sic] acceptable to pretend this road race is being broadcast live?” he wrote in one.

“Matt Lauer: ‘Madagascar, a location indelibly associated with a couple of recent animated movies,’” he mocked on another.

Turns out it wasn’t actually the harsh tweets he directed towards NBC that got his account suspended;  Adams apparently decided he was cool and wanted to tweet the e-mail address of an NBC executive and ended up without a Twitter page.
