The battle of modern Britain?s intellectual heavyweights is underway on Twitter at the moment, as the cast of human zoo The Only Way is Essex are squaring off against QPR captain, and Mario Balotelli impersonator, Joey Barton.
Joey took to Twitter earlier in the week to announce that he'd attended the launch party of the new Call of Duty game, a party that was also attended by the TOWIE cast.
Whilst most people would be content to just stand in a corner, making the most of the free booze, slagging off the permatanned primadonnas amongst the comfortable surroundings of a group of close mates, the controversial footballer decided to take to the net to speak his mind.
Saying that though, we have a sneaking suspicion that Barton uses his Twitter feed as a way of backing up all his thoughts, freeing up the few brain cells he has to focus on other endeavours, like kicking a ball or remembering not to punch people with a lit cigar in his hand.
After a night spent referring to his fellow game launch attendees as ?retards,? ?lemmings? and, most perplexingly of all, ?helmets,? Barton was greeted by a picture of the entire cast of TOWIE holding up their little fingers as well as a sign that read, ?JEL JOEY BARTON??
DO YOU SEE WHAT THEY DID THERE? THEY SAID HE HAD A SMALL PENIS! HAHAHAHA!
The battle of wits has now merely devolved into Barton, Mark Wright and someone inexplicably known as “Arg” sending abusive messages to each other in full keyboard warrior mode, very mature lads, the whole Country?s proud of you.
Perhaps they might try commenting on our website.
We here at hecklerspray are pretty certain nothing will come of this. As mental as Barton is he probably isn't actually sure where Essex is, meaning there won't be any Grand Theft Auto style rampages on the streets of Brentwood any time soon… unfortunately.
Also, let's not forget that Mark is off to Oz for the annual ITV career-wank that is “I'm a Celebrity?” and Arg quite clearly has no idea what a Queens Park Ranger is, let alone where he'd be able to find one of them.
