Pat Sajak is no stranger to a Twitter controversy and Monday (June 1), he finds himself in hot water with some of his followers because of a tweet he wrote about the fairness of "Wheel of Fortune" puzzles in the ever-changing cultural landscape.
Pat Sajak ✔ @patsajak As we lose our common culture, one odd side effect: it's harder to find puzzles on Wheel that are fair to all. 10:57 AM - 1 Jun 2015

Some do not want the veil lifted too soon.
...that are already outraged about having nothing to be outraged about.
Pat - just don’t put up the puzzle with the clue
“people who annoy you”
Dass true. Dem white devils don’ kno’ sheeeet about de Dindu Nuffins gang.
Who objected?
I’m outraged that I’m not outraged!
Its likely no one was, at least until some reporter said that some were. Push journalism.
Who axed Pat the question anyway?
Every puzzle can’t be about basketball.
Maybe he should do something less controversial: like chop off little childrens heads because they are Christians.
Sajak should know. If he says this is the case then it almost certainly is.
But there is supposed to be “outrage”? Over what?
I would think this Tweet would get him in more hot water:
Donated $25 to Clinton Foundation. Hoping for Ambassadorship. Small nation would be fine. (https://twitter.com/patsajak/status/603920535832154112?s=17)
Apparently that went pretty much unnoticed.
(I just started following him after that Tweet. He’s my favorite now)
Haven’t watched in a while but I do remember one way back in the late 80s where a woman solving the puzzle did an ebonic pronunciation of a word and was wrong because of it. I’m sure it’s only became worse over the years.
“people who annoy you”
That was hilarious. Somehow, I saw that one.
Rush Limbaugh often expresses his contempt for those on Twitter as mean and bitter. I can see what he means here.
You can’t even post the graphic of it here anymore.
