While his Parks and Recreation costar Amy Poehler was busy co-hosting her final Golden Globes gig, Aziz Ansari was creating his own trending topic #RupertsFault.
It all started when the top of the Fox empire (and ghost whisperer to Fox News) Rupert Murdoch tweeted the following:
Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.
— Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) January 10, 2015To which Ansari responded:
.@rupertmudoch Are you responsible for the evil shit all Christians do or just the insane amount of evil you yourself contribute to?
— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015
.@rupertmurdoch You are Catholic, why are you not hunting pedophiles? #RupertsFault
— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015
.@rupertmurdoch is Christian just like Mark David Chapman who shot John Lennon. Why didn't Rupert stop it? #RupertsFault
— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015
.@RUPERTMURDOCH PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO STOP ANY AND ALL CRIMES COMMITTED BY PEOPLE OF YOUR RELIGION???!!!

The popularity of The Big Bang Theory #Rupertsfault
— Correct(?)! (@timothyfobrien) January 12, 2015Even the author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling got in on the blame game:
I was born Christian. If that makes Rupert Murdoch my responsibility, I'll auto-excommunicate. http://t.co/Atw1wNk8UX
— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 11, 2015And then all that Twitter rage made the Golden Globes unenjoyable:
Fucking up a nice Golden Globes by making me go into a Twitter rage #RupertsFault
— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015
Not enough Tina and Amy at the Golden Globes. #RupertsFault @azizansari
— Craig Schroeder (@KegFreighter) January 12, 2015The Globes ended with a Boyhood win. But #RupertsFault rages on.
To be clear, I am not religious and have nothing against Christians or Muslims, just ignorance like what @rupertmurdoch is spreading.
