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.

Critics? So, now someone who doesn’t recognize the girl qualifies as a “critic”, huh?

I remember being at some event where nametags were provided. The woman checking in near me proudly stated she needed no nametag, since “everyone knew her.” I had no idea who she was, and when I asked a few other attendees, neither did they. It became a private joke as the day went on, and at the end of the day, we still didn’t know who she was.

What the heck is going on here? Greta is distressed that somebody didn’t know who she was?

Is she going to go through life, pulling the old “don’t you know who I am” routine? Will she expect people to fawn over her?

> changed her Twitter bio to “Sharon” <

What? Does Thunberg have any idea how much energy she wasted? Electrons just don’t move on their own, you know. And that energy will eventually be dissipated as heat.

Her stupid and vain action probably melted some small iceberg somewhere.

How dare she!

How could anybody not recognize the angry little ugly girl? She should scoop the vitriol off her face and put it in buckets to sell to chicks with neon pink and purple hair so they can complete their goal of morphing into Gollum faster

A 17 year old who has the media hanging on her every word. And believe me, she does not write her own social media. She is a Corporation now.

Scoldilocks needs to go back to Sweden and finish growing up.

Starting with developing some class.

Wonder how many others of her kind are out there! Maybe we could get them together in one spot and George Sanders can think of ...”A brick wall!”
