Marc Jacobs Intern Has Meltdown On Twitter

Seems like it's not all fun and games at the Haus of designer Marc Jacobs. Over the weekend, an intern had a very public breakdown on the brand's Twitter account, @marcjacobsintl, calling CEO Robert Duffy a "tyrant." The Daily Mail writes:

A posting from an iPhone at midnight EST read: 'You guys and gals have no idea how difficult Robert is. I am only an intern. My last day is tomorrow. I wouldn't be tweeting this if not!'

'Good luck! I pray for you all. If you get the job! I'm out of here. See ya! Son't want to be ya! Roberts a tyrant! Seriously! He is tough!' another read.

He continued: 'I can call him out! I'm out! Won't work in this town again! I know that! Learned a lot. But, I don't have the energy for what is expected!'

Signing off, he added: 'Yea, walk in my MJ shoes! Don't judge me! I'm alone in this office having to try and entertain you all. This isn't easy. I have tried. Done!'

The Tweets were later removed and replaced with some life lessons:

And so continues the label's love/hate affair with everyone's favorite microblogging site.

In fall of 2010, Marc and Robert were all about the TwitPics, posting a preview of their show. Come February 2010, Robert, who did most of the Tweeting, deleted the account after reportedly posting a very naked pic of a man dancing at the Marc Jacobs Show after-party. But last summer, Robert reactivated and since then, the feed has amassed nearly 115,000 followers. We hope, by now, they're here to stay. We mean, to Tweet.

That which was described was hardly a "meltdown". Don't mislead the reader.

Turnabout being fair play, do you 'spose we might find the name of the editor responsible for this tripe and send him or her envelopes of excrement?

Fashion - another lamprey drawing its life force from the bodies of the Plutocrats. why do we keep on reading about this instead of some real human struggle, tragedy or success? Because the Plutocrats control the industry and use it - like they use the entire American media - to keep us distracted from the real issues at hand.

Oh, and Fashion has another quite valuable use - it encourages us to wish *we* could be like them, and buy those wonderful clothes, and swank around at those wonderful parties, and live our lives in the Land of Wonderful! It's all cess.

With this post, HP may well have broken its own record for useless stories. I can only join with all of those others who ask in all earnestness, "WTF?".

Oh, my! With publicity like that, Kate Middleton is not going to be wearing an MJ wedding dress.
