Ever since Newtown, former comedian and onetime box-office draw Jim Carrey has used Twitter to wage an increasingly hostile anti-gun campaign. After all, Adam Lanza abused his rights, so why should you have any, you idiots?
Carrey has now recorded a purportedly humorous song on the subject. Here’s how he’s been promoting it:
‘Cold Dead Hand’ is abt u heartless motherf%ckers unwilling 2 bend 4 the safety of our kids.Sorry if you’re offended… say.ly/jtu5rar

‘COLD DEAD HAND’ Hits ‘Funny Or Die’ at 12:01am tonight! What are you afraid of? It’s just a funny little song!2;^… say.ly/zju5rsV

I ain’t ‘fraid of no song. Let’s watch!
Wow. Well, no matter your opinion on guns, we can all agree on one thing: That was definitely 5 minutes and 56 seconds long.
In reaction to Carrey’s stirring rhetoric, some heartless motherf%ckers have resorted to logic. I have to confess, I succumbed to it myself:
Is @jimcarrey volunteering to pay for all of us to have bodyguards, too? Well, are you Jim?

@jimcarrey @dloesch I notice you don’t deny having armed bodyguards, Mr. Carrey. How do you justify having armed bodyguards?

No answer yet, but he’s a really busy guy. He does appreciate all the feedback he’s been getting, so keep letting him know what you think of his selfless efforts:
Thx 4 your input 2day.I don’t think i’ve ever felt so despised and so free at the same time. It’s been delightfully. ;^}

Indubitably.

P.S. Here’s another heartless motherf%cker, bringing facts and evidence into it:
And that other one is still at it:
I think @jimcarrey should lead by example. He should drop his armed bodyguards and denounce “Kick Ass 2.”

After blasting culture and gun violence on Twitter, will @jimcarrey denounce his new film “Kick Ass 2” for glorifying? #AnswerTheQuestionJim

P.P.S. And we have our answer:
G’morning!Hope you’re enjoying Cold Dead Hand.FYI,my bodyguard doesn’t have a hundred rounds in his clip.I wish u all a bullet free day! ;^}

So guns are okay, as long as you can afford to hire other people to carry them? Huh.
I hope Carrey is paying the guy well. How would you like bodyguarding somebody who got up in front of the whole world and made fun of you for having a small penis?
