As we posted earlier tonight, the Golden Globes featured a few bits tonight starring Margaret Cho as some sort of North Korean general/film buff.
But not everyone was happy with her act. Here are 10 verified Tweeps who got the vapors over a tiny bit of non-PC entertainment…

Margaret Cho still holding onto the same bit 20 years later. #GoldenGlobes

And No. 10. The entire BuzzFeed office except for Adam Ellis:
Nobody else in the BuzzFeed office is laughing at Margaret Cho so I guess I'm quitting.

Weird. BuzzFeed is usually quite a fan of Margaret Cho’s, including her sex-ed advice.
