'Twitter is weird and creepy': Interception of Tony Romo pass culminates in mass distribution of bad 'joke'

The Green Bay Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 37-36 today. Any hopes of a Cowboys comeback were dashed when the Packers intercepted a Tony Romo pass with time running out.

The same “joke” then started making the rounds on Twitter:

A quick search of Twitter shows that this “joke” has been re-used most of the season whenever the Cowboys have lost, and today was no different.

THIS JUST IN:

TONY ROMO ATTEMPTS SUICIDE IN THE LOCKER ROOM.

BULLET WAS INTERCEPTED.

Still not funny.

@atotalmonet thanks for this. I feel like my tweets are slightly less lame now.

Lame, and quite dated:

@TwitchyTeam @michellemalkin that joke is as old as football.
