British GQ gave each member of One Direction their own cover for the magazine's September issue, and immediately had to deal with a fallout that was so intense that GQ.co.uk crashed soon after last night's unveiling. The "Directioners" Tweeted up a fury, and for a boy band that is a pretty standard cookie-cutter, wholesome pop music entity, some of the things being said were downright insane.

These didn't go unnoticed by GQ, who went about collecting some of the most outrageous Tweets directed their way for both a humorous take on the situation, and, potentially, to alert the authorities. See the Directioners' palpable rage in 140 characters or less below:
