John Mayer’s got to be about the biggest hypocrite I can think of. The man is easily the most famous Twitter addicts out there. Yet he just told E! that he thinks it’s “silly” and “dumb.” This is the same guy who was actually broken up with because of his Twitter obsession. John claims he just uses it because everyone else does. Smart.
The way John Mayer uses Twitter, you’d think he would have nothing but high praise for the social networking phenomenon.
But no, the singer actually has some harsh words for the latest in social messaging.
“It’s inherently silly and it’s inherently dumb,” the singer told me last night at the One Splendid Evening benefit for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation aboard the Carnival Splendor cruise ship in San Pedro, Calif. “If you really think that Twitter is the pathway to spiritual enlightenment, well…It’s one step away from sending pictures of your poop.”
So why does the Grammy-winner twitter all the time?
“I’ve always communicated at a high level as best I can whether it’s Twitter, Napster or message boards or wherever,” Mayer said. “I don’t have a devotion to Twitter. I didn’t sell out to Twitter. You do Twitter until everybody gets off of Twitter and it’s something else you go and try out.”
[From E! News]
“‘It’s one step away from sending pictures of your poop.’” So I’m assuming it’s safe to say John’s sent a lot of pictures of his bathroom accomplishments. Good to know. Now if I could only stick his head in the toilet bowl and give him a swirly, I could accurately demonstrate exactly how I feel about the guy.
So John’s claiming he doesn’t actually like Twitter. And he only uses it because that’s what’s popular right now. I have easily gone off on ten Twitter rants in the last three days. I don’t like it. Yet all of my friends are using it. But I manage to actually have my own – albeit minority – opinion, and my actions fall in line with it. Meaning I dislike Twitter and think it’s stupid and dumb, thus I don’t use it. Seems rational, right? You don’t have to agree with me that it’s stupid and dumb, but it makes sense that if I think so, I wouldn’t tweet. Or whatever the jargon is. Yet here’s John Mayer saying the same damn thing, however he’s still on there fifteen times a day.
I’ll resist making a bunch of sheep noises.

He is full of it. I just looked at his Twitter page and he’s updated 20 times in the past two days.

I used to really like John Mayer when he was known for just singing. But the more he talked, the more he sounded like an arrogant douche.

So does this mean that the reason given for her dumping him was not true? I just can’t believe it!

I love the pompous and utterly ridiculous “I’ve always communicated at a high level” comment. As a musician, isn’t his music supposed to communicate for him? Isn’t that “high” enough?

This person has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Never did one person put so much stock in the stories he reads about himself online as this one.

I can only conclude that he’s great in the sack. Otherwise, I have no idea what Jennifer sees in him.

Hmmm he’s an idiot…and what it says about JA that she went out with this babbling fool I won’t even bother to elucidate…

I hated him as part of mayerston, but since he’s single, he’s had more of a sparkle to his eye that can almost be called… attractive? noooo!
But the mankini is still too much!

It’s weak minded women that keep this guy afloat.
If he is stepping away from twitter then he must have signed another contract to be Jen’s fake boyfriend. Everything about jen and john is fake.

He is a thorough douche sprocket.
I couldn’t be more repulsed.

Mayer is very Internet-savvy, and Twitter is a good way for celebrities to market themselves and communicate with their fans. Maybe JA finally convinced Mayer to drop it. It sounds like he has been in the throes of song-writing and recording and was using Twitter as a way to avoid working.
Here’s John Mayer’s latest tweet: “Okay, let’s put it to bed: YES, Twitter is inherently silly. We will deny we ever loved it in 5 years. Doesn’t mean I don’t love you all. XO”

So, the story was true? Jennifer Aniston broke up with him cause of this?
Well, she got a few headlines out of it.

Really PJ? So he’s Twittering about how stupid Twittering is. His douchiness knows no bounds. He should consider keeping his “fabulous meta-awareness” to himself once in awhile.

This scum bag has a wonky eye to match Paris Hilton’s. Maybe they should hook up and keep their STD’s to themselves.

He is disgusting. I don’t care if Jen hooks back up with him he still is a douche bag, says a lot about Jen.

Couldn’t have said it better myself, Jaybird. He needs to get his head out of his arse long enough to formulate his own opinion. And if anyone uses Twitter excessively, it’s Dina Lohan.
And I don’t think anyone’s necessarily jumping up and down to follow in her footsteps…
