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.

.@rupertmudoch Are you responsible for the evil shit all Christians do or just the insane amount of evil you yourself contribute to?

Even 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

And then all that Twitter rage made the Golden Globes unenjoyable:

The 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.
