After a video leaked purportedly showing Carter Reynolds pressuring his ex-girlfriend (Maggie Lindemann) into on-camera oral sex, the Vine star issued a largely consent-avoiding apology via Twitter — to both the delight of some and the vehement chagrin of others. Of course, the internet wasn't going to let Reynolds off that easily — quickly derailing the #WeLoveYouCarter hashtag on Twitter and crafting an absurdist stream-of-unconsciousness hell storm that's still very much still in progress. Though a tweet from Reynolds (now deleted) asked "fans" to retweet under the #WeLoveYouCarter hashtag for a followback, more recent tweets appear to suggest that Reynolds either: a). was definitely hacked; or b). quickly realized the transparent desperateness of such a tweet.

Regardless, the poetweets don't seem to be stopping anytime soon. We've rounded up the best (worst) entries below, for reasons unclear:

Well said. Taking the piss, when executed with discipline, is a rare art.
