Greta Thunberg takes subtle dig at game-show contestant who didn't recognize her

The teenage environmental activist — who has netted 3.8 million followers on the social networking site since she joined in June 2018 — changed her Twitter bio to “Sharon” Friday in a riff on the game-show contestant who failed to recognize her.

The stumped guest on the BBC’s Celebrity Mastermind guessed “Sharon” when the host showed her a photo of Thunberg — who graced Time magazine covers a month earlier as its “person of the year” — causing a stir on Twitter.

“Our climate change global superstar will always be Sharon Thunberg to me from now on,” @WolfWhoWanders tweeted.

As of Saturday, Twitter users viewed video of the bewildered contestant, actress Amanda Henderson, giving the wrong answer 7 million times.

Thunberg’s response to the gaffe had social media suggesting Friday that she should add “comedian” to her bio.

“Greta Thunberg is even more of a hero after changing her Twitter profile name to Sharon,” @SaminSaad wrote.

It’s not the first time Thunberg has used her Twitter bio to clap back at critics.

Greta Thunberg, pre-pubescent megalomaniac

Oddly enough, she's 17 years old.

Retarded in intellect and in growth.

At least, if she’s stopped by cops in her own country, she can screech “Do you know who I am?”

Greta must be really pi$$ed at Mad Maxine. Imagine, Waters not recognizing her voice, an outrage.

My son and one of his like minded friends punk each other with Christmas gifts.

This year my son gave the guy a framed copy of Greta’s Time Person of the Year cover.

Will someone please tell her that Andy Warhol is calling, and her 15 minutes of fame were up about 5 weeks ago.

Either Scoldilocks has someone managing her Twitter account, or she’s doing it herself and doesn’t have Asperger’s as her parents say. A person with Asperger’s isn’t capable of this type of sarcasm. They’re all frauds.

Tsk, tsk, young lady. Having that much anger makes you a little biytch. Truth is, no one likes you.

Find yourself a Swedish pojke, and take your mind off the weather.

Maybe she DID RECOGNIZED her, but didn’t think she knows anything about climate and globull warming, so she said she didn’t. As ConservaTeen says, his generation KNOWS they don’t know everything, so they are listening.
