Steve Brookstein Just Tweeted The Dumbest 7/7 Related Tweet Ever And Is Getting Rinsed For It
You might remember Steve Brookstein from 10 or so years ago when he won the X Factor, but then kind of flopped to the point where Simon Cowell brushed him under the carpet like he never even existed.

Well today on the anniversary of the 7/7 attacks, Steve decided to send out a Tweet remembering what that day was like for him all those years ago:

Didn’t really think that one through did he? Naturally Twitter responded with some classic roasting:
@stevebrookstein Fuck me…and you wondered why you struggled to capture the nation's hearts?!

I’m sure the guy didn’t mean to come off like such a douche but that’s why you’ve really got to check your Tweets before sending them. I’m guessing he doesn’t have an assistant to do that for him these days.
