Jason Biggs tweets a joke about recent Malaysia airline tragedy, and outrage follows

-

Jason Biggs may be everyone's favorite funnyman actor, but, in real life, he seems to have a real sarcastic sense of humor, and that's putting it nicely, according to some.

Hours after news broke about Malaysia Flight 17 being shot down and crashing in the Russian/Ukraine area, leaving 295 people dead, Jason Biggs tweeted the following:
Of course, people felt like it was way too soon for someone to be making jokes, especially since this was not the airline's fault. Neither was Flight 370, which went missing 3 months ago.
Biggs received A TON of outrage from fans and Biggs fired back. Here are a few of the things that he said to his (former) fans:
 
Maybe Biggs has a sarcastic sense of humor. Perhaps, he uses humor as a defense mechanism when the world gets scary. However, not everyone does. I understand that Biggs doesn't really care that he's offended people, but, some of the people he may have offended could have been family members or friends of those who were aboard Flight 17. I'm not saying Biggs should censor himself. I'm just saying that calling people "assholes" and "pussies" hours after a tragedy is not cool. 

Was the joke funny? It was on the border of offensive and it was kind of too soon. My problem with Jason Biggs right now is the way he handled the backlash from fans. You can tell your fans that you were being funny without going to that level. I call people names too and make a TON of jokes. It's my defense mechanism too. I'm fluent in sarcasm. It's how I can deal with all the assholes in the world. But, the whole Malaysia tragedy has just bummed me out. I can't bring myself to unleash on the world today (but I will be back tomorrow).

Dude, you need to save that shit for another day. Today is just not the day.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.
