Those unemployed 32-year-olds who can’t catch a date, otherwise known as social media sleuths, claimed their latest scalp in the shaming of comedian Kevin Hart. Hart stepped down from his recently announced gig of hosting the Academy Awards after tweets with homophobic language and sentiments from a decade ago were unearthed and gawked at by the outrage brigade.

Whether anyone was actually offended is, as always, not relevant. Hart is out, and the Academy is left with one remaining candidate in Hollywood who has neither raped anyone (that disqualifies about half the town) nor offended anyone (that removes the other half): Clint Eastwood’s empty chair.
