We're sure there aren't many people who haven't heard about the Joe Paterno scandal by now, but apparently Ashton Kutcher was one of them - the actor tweeted his frustration about the firing of the Penn State football coach, saying, "How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan I find it in poor taste." 

Immediately bombarded with tweets from people who clearly do watch CNN, Kutcher quickly deleted his original tweet and instead wrote, "Heard Joe was fired. Didn't have full story. #admitwhenyoumadeamistake," followed by, "As an advocate in the fight against child sexual exploitation, I could not be more remorseful for all involved in the Penn St. case." 

Kutcher didn't stop there. He felt so bad that he took to his blog to announce that, while he will still tweet, he was going to turn the management of his Twitter over to his team "to ensure the quality of it's content." 

"My sincere apologies to anyone who I have offended," he added. "It was a mistake that I don't think will happen again."
