Michael Ian Black launched LeWar after noting that Levar Burton had over 30,000 Twitter followers to his 6,000. Black mused on his blog: "Yes, LeVar was on "Star Trek." Yes, he hosted "Reading Rainbow." But do thirty thousand people need to know what he's up to at any and all hours? Are thirty thousand people feeling their mobile phones vibrate and thinking to themselves, 'That must be LeVar'?" Apparently so! Since LeWar got underway, Burton and Black's list of followers have both have been climbing steadily. Let's check in with @levarburton first:
OK Y'all... @michaelianbeck seems committed to this folly. Let's whup some ass!!!Hey now, Burton, perhaps you should be thanking Black! There's a chance all the LeWar publicity helped you ink a Reading Rainbow t-shirt deal with Urban Outfitters. Or maybe it was just the guy rocking the RR shirt on The Price Is Right?
Tossed and turned all night. @michaelianblack has disturbed my peace. Must come to a decision as to a response or sleep no more!
Happy Monday everyone! For the record I am still not smoking in spite of the stress being caused by @michaelianblack an his infernal war.
I expected a guy like Michael Ian Black to be more appreciative for my having helped him gain thousands of followers almost overnight.
