The Boston Marathon bombing has been weighing on everyone’s hearts and minds in the hours since the blast rocked the city and the nation.
And sadly, in the wake of the tragedy, more sorrow is being brought to light through tweeters’ tragic lack of comprehension skills.
Because 8-year-old victim Martin Richard’s mother is named Denise, many took to Twitter to express their condolences to actress Denise Richards, without even considering that there might be more than one person on the planet named Denise Richards. Apparently, everyone’s minds immediately went to Denise Richards and her illustrious career of lesbian sex scenes, being married to Charlie Sheen, and starring in her own E! reality show, “It’s Complicated.”

These superfans also didn’t realize that the actress doesn’t even have a son: She has three daughters. Also, the victim’s mother’s name isn’t even Denise Richards—it’s Denise Richard.
Actress Richards has not released a statement, but the letter “S” has apparently admitted that, “The world is full of idiot(s)—plural. That’s one word I meant to be a part of.”
Why does this not surprise me?
I’d like to say this is unbelievable, but sadly, it is not.
Again, I am bringing up my petition that people who use social media must pass some kind of IQ Test. A bit on the dumbfounded side.
