Jason Biggs is no stranger to making a fool of himself on Twitter. He’s steadily grown more offensive ever since his star started rising again on OITNB. I’m rooting for producers to write him out of season 3 because there’s no reason for him to come back. Let his Larry character ride off into the sunset with his new girlfriend, the milk-squirting Polly. Then Jason and his real-life wife, Jenny Mollen, would have more time for oversharing for the masses.
Yesterday, Jason decided to use his celebrity platform to crack a joke about downed Malaysia Airlines Flight 777, which was shot down in eastern Ukraine. Nearly 300 people lost their lives in this senseless tragedy, and Jason decided it was a great opportunity to make a joke. You know, to rack up the retweets. He took to his Twitter account to ask, “Anyone wanna buy my Malaysian Airlines frequent flier miles?” Jason has now deleted the tweets in question, but here’s a screencap of his cruel joke.
People jumped all over Biggs, and he fully deserved it. Of course he didn’t understand why people were upset, so he retaliated in anger: “Truly – you losers are literally trying to find sh-t to get angry about. Channel your issues elsewhere. Hey, all you ‘too soon’ a–holes – it’s a f—ing joke. You don’t have to think it’s funny, or even be on my twitter page at all.”
For real. Biggs thinks people are actively looking for reasons to get offended. Like, everyone simply wandered onto his page and arbitrarily decided to start pointing at poor little Jason Biggs. Someone must have talked some sense into him because Jason sort-of apologized:
1). Hey all- ok, so- I am deleting my previous tweets. People were offended, and that was not my intent. Sorry to those of you that were.
2). This is obviously a horrible tragedy, and everyone-including myself- is sad and angry about it. Sending positive thoughts to the
3). victims and their families. P.S. No one is making me send these tweets- I simply understand that my comments might have come off
4). as insensitive and ill-timed. For that, I apologize.

Did you hear that? He didn’t mean to offend anyone by joking about hundreds of people dying. It was just a poorly timed quip. He’s really sad, you guys. Sure, he made fun of a massive tragedy, but he didn’t realize how insensitive his comments would appear. Spare. Me. What a non-apology.
Oh, and Jason tweeted this little gem about missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in April. This guy.
