How did Piers’ homeland do? Iran?, Palistan?, Saudi Arabia?
Piers Morgan pisses off 1.2 billion people with one tweet. How stupidly awesome is that?
But then why would anyone outside of Piers’s family care a whit about what he says?

To be fair, 900 million of them are probably crapping in the Ganges and not following Twitter...
It will of course be noted that Piers Morgan always wins the Gold Medal in in the Jodrell Banking 500 meter contest.
