Stephen Fry Quits Twitter After Internet Losers Take Offence To This BAFTAS Joke He Made
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad word said about Stephen Fry. The guy is a real national treasure and one of the wittiest, most interesting and generally likeable people around.

So it’s disappointing to hear that he’s deleted his Twitter account after a bunch of Internet pussies freaked out over a harmless joke he made at the BAFTAs.
Costume designer Jenny Beaven had just left the stage after collecting her award for Best Costume Designer (Mad Max: Fury Road), when Fry, who was hosting, said:
Only one of the great cinematic costume designers would come to the awards ceremony dressed like a bag lady.

Harmless, light-hearted joke between friends right? Not according to these cry-babies:
Jenny Beavan is a master in her field. She doesn't need to truss herself up for approval. Fry, you're an embarrassment. #BAFTA #baglady

What a totally twattish thing for Stephen Fry to say about Jenny Beavan. Why does he even still present this? Ugh.

Fry, who we all know is a sensitive soul, responded with a couple Tweets himself:
He then decided to delete his Twitter completely and not have to deal with the PC idiots that dominate the Internet anymore.
David Baddiel & Matt Lucas said it best:
@StephenFry outrage confers identity on the anonymous, unfortunately..it's the curse of here. Well done tonight, grand job.

@stephenfry Didn't you get the memo? No-one is allowed to do jokes anymore.
