If we don’t make a move soon, I think we will lose the advantage we would have if we release before them.

    I really love the word douchebag. It’s so descriptive and useful for select individuals. 8 hours ago via Twitter for iPhone · powered by @socialditto

    Randi Zuckerberg chimed in as well:

    Totally agree @brandee (re: douchebag) Got honked @ today. At 9mos preggo I was taking “too long to climb into my car” & guy wanted my spot. 3 hours ago via web · powered by @socialditto

    One can’t help but visualize Armie Hammer sitting at a computer in an office finding out that Facebook has been name calling.
