Sharknado Takes Twitter by Storm

In what surely counts as the most laughable premise since Samuel Jackson got tired of all those snakes on his plane, the TV movie Sharknado debuted on the Syfy channel Thursday night. It features pretty much what you'd imagine from that title: a freak weather system sweeping up schools of sharks into a tornado that drowns and devastates Los Angeles.

For folks on Twitter, it was cause for a feeding frenzy. Users of the network tend to like a really ridiculous concept they can sink their teeth into, ironically or otherwiseSharknado delivered. (They also like to get meta by tweeting about how many people are tweeting about something,and Sharknado delivered on that front too.)
