NY Times at It Again with Bizarre Guinea Pig Cherry Tweet
Just a week after the New York Times told the world via Twitter to add peas to their guacamole and the Internet had a collective freakout, the paper of record is at it again. This time, the paper’s Twitter account sent out a bizarre tweet this morning about putting a cherry on top of guinea pigs.
Obviously, this isn’t a recipe and the newspaper doesn’t expect us to eat guinea pigs – the link goes to an article in the Times Style section about avant-garde guinea pig fashion – but this is nonetheless a second strange tweet in as many weeks from the paper. The response has been predictably mixed.
“LOL, wut? No piggy I know would be caught dead wearing a cherry as a hat!!” tweeted noted guinea pig fashion expert, and Vogue contributor Miles Jones.
“I mean, I guess kind of cute. But what the heck, @nytimes?” responded Fashionista pets editor Tawny Chu.
Even President Barack Obama weighed in, tweeting: “@nytimes Love and respect you, but this just looks weird.”
We’re left wondering, who is running the social accounts at The New York Times these days?

No One’s Laughing at Area Cat’s ‘Kool-Aid Man’ Stunt
Rodney fancies himself the king of local cat comedy, but neighbors are furious after a throwback prank left a trail of property damage in its wake.
Early Sunday morning, the cat took to re-enacting a notable soft drink commercial from the 1970s in which the “Kool-Aid Man,” a 6-foot pitcher of red sugar water, would explode through walls to rescue thirsty kids.
“I’m having waffles on my deck and I heard this huge crash,” says area resident Phillip Corman. “I turn around and Rodney has completely busted through my garage wall shouting, ‘OH YEAAAH’ or whatever. I mean, what is that? Is that from a YouTube video or something? It’s not funny, and now he owes me $450 for the repairs.”
Rodney has since dislodged himself, but could not be reached for comment.
