Sunny Leone tries to whack mean tweeters in a new video and it's a fail

So a random person tweets at you and says, “I need a one night stand”. Okay, lets be fair to men, given the display picture of most such tweeters will have a rose, or a silhouette of two snogging ducks, a close-up of breasts in lacy underwear or the national flag of a country, you can’t say for sure what sex the person belongs to. You save your expertise at whacking people for someone with more personality, or if you have time at hand and are angry enough to spare, you reply saying, “You need to get your ears boxed. Preferably by the police.” But if you are Sunny Leone, who has to promote a film which looks like a fairly sexist sex comedy and yet be feminist in the same breath, you sputter out a wide-eyed ‘No’. It’s the kind of ’no’ that escapes your mouth when you drop a chicken wing caked with barbecue sauce on your pants.

And she actually tries trolling the trolls. It seems like she is reading tweets out from her phone and replying to them. But wait! Where are the mean tweets? If you are on Twitter (which means being mean is your primary occupation), you feel a bit like lovechild of Simon Cowell and Shakuni Mama, right now. Because here’s a sample of the ‘mean’ tweets Leone promises to ‘call out’. “Only Sunny Leone can bring India back from Silicon Valley.” Now, how does Leone answer that one? By saying, “I don’t know.” Promoters of acronyms can perhaps enlighten us when IDK was named the new WTF. Then, there’s one inviting Leone and her husband to his Tamil Nadu home. To which Leone says, “I will never go to you house. But you are sweet.” That’s celebrity edition of the libido killer line called, “But, we can be friends.” There’s one tweet, saying, “Who is the tattooed spot boy she is taking pictures with? He is hot!” Like a shuddh desi woman who doesn’t like her man being hit on, Leone gets her husband to bring her a glass on water and then place a kiss on her cheek. Now what says, ‘MINE!’, better than a scream-controlled waiter-cum-kiss-giver? Basically Leone looks as upset with the ‘mean tweets’ as you are when you are given a non-virgin mojito which only tastes of the mint leaves. You can’t blame her really. The tweets are hardly ‘mean’ by Twitter’s standards. Or maybe, Twitter trolls have made a trip to grammar/intelligence rehab, while we were not looking!
