Who else thought upon reading the thread title, "Did someone tweet Hogan about going balls deep in Brooke, again?"

Whoever did this is a piece of shit. They're also not even slightly clever.
There is zero reason for Hogan to know who Madeleine was. Someone go to Chicago and find some miscellaneous missing person, then tweet a joke about it to Eamonn Holmes and see if he cottons on.
Somehow I doubt he'd get it.

Always feel better about myself reading stories like this and knowing I'm not a) pretending to be a celebrity on the internet to feel like I matter b) trying to hurt a total stranger's feelings on the internet for amusement, and now apparently c) pulling hilarious pranks on people involving missing children.
Never underestimate what someone will do to be noticed.

Was it Donald Trump who retweeted an image of serial killer Fred West because he trusted someone who claimed it was their relative?

I honestly doubt at this point Hulk even is the one doing the twitter account and retweets. It could very well be a PR firm that does his twitter.

Yeah, maybe Hulk should just stop retweeting stuff.
Still, what a horrible attempt a humor.

Wasn't she the little girl who for some reason her parents left her alone in the hotel while they went to dinner and she disappeared?

It's dark humor guys. Not everyone's cup of tea but some people are really into dark humor.
I found it funny.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

Twitter is quickly becoming where good taste goes to die

Missing Children=Not funny Hulk Hogan not knowing Madeline McCann and falling for it=Funny Lets face facts, Hogan should know the story. It was huge news worldwide and everyone that follows the news should know who she is and at least a little bit of her story. Hogan being that much out of the loop and believing it was someones niece is funny to me and probably others as well.

Hogan being that much out of the loop and believing it was someones niece is funny to me and probably others as well. It's using a child abduction to get a laugh. That person is using the image of a missing kid to go "haha Hulk Hogan's dumb lol." Which isn't in poor taste, it's completely tasteless. And I've never heard this story either. Maybe I'm out of the loop too, but I don't see how that's funny either. If you separate "this guy doesn't know about a news story" and "here's a picture of a missing child" neither is funny stand alone. Combining them doesn't inject humor. But comedy is subjective, so to each his own. I personally don't get the humor in exploiting that girl for a joke. Whether or not the poor child is the joke, you're still using her as part of it, which to me, is all kinds of f***ed up. And believe me, I get comedy. I've seen Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties.

The funny part is that Hulk Hogan didn't know the story and looked silly. It's not really exploiting anyone it's not upsetting anyone. I doubt Hogan is crying at home about it, I doubt the McCann family know about it. It's just people on Twitter looking to get upset at something before the next "I'm outraged" story comes along. As you said comedy is indeed subjective. I find dark humor hilarious and listen to comedians who poke fun at themselves and everyone else around them. People such as Howard Stern, Opie and Anthony and others have made millions by doing dark shock humor so it definitely has a fan base. Just like "So, what's the deal with airplane meals?" and Adam Sandler films have their fan bases as well.

I've heard of the story, but I didn't place the picture of the little girl when I saw him retweet that yesterday. It's not funny either. I get dark humor, but it's a child. It's just not funny to do.

I wonder if the missing child would find it funny. Wait... they might, because comedy is subjective! That makes it all ok.
