The thing about being connected 24/7 is that it gives people more opportunities to run off at the mouth and make fools of themselves. It's bad for them but great for us, because where else are we supposed to get our daily comic relief?
At the top of the list are celebs. You might think that they'd be too busy to tweet about nonsensical stuff, but apparently, they make time. In the process, the media and folks like us learn a few things about themselves as well: one, that they can say incredibly stupid stuff without the help of their PR people; and two, that they can be incredibly stupid people, period.

New Spock and Spock Classic Team Up to Sell Audis, and Surprisingly It Doesn’t Suck
When I heard that there was an Audi commercial starring Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto as themselves, competing against each other for Spock supremacy, two thoughts immediately popped into my head. The first was something along the lines of, "Really? Are there really a lot of hardcore Trekkies out there who can actually afford Audis? Maybe if it were a commercial for used Chevy Luminas or something, but Audis?" Then the second thought I had went something like, "man, that's going to be the lamest thing ever."
Well, it turns out I was totally wrong...about the second thing.

In fact, it's genuinely smart (the trademark J.J. Abrams lens flares on the Audi) and hilarious (an 82-year-old Nimoy cursing and singing "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins").
But don't take my word for it. Watch the ad for yourself. Then watch this:
