James Franco Says "F*ck You" to Yale Newspaper Article — Understandable or Immature?

March 3, 2011

James Franco joined Twitter just before the Oscars, and he's already embroiled in controversy based on one of his photo updates. This week he's faced a less than favorable response for his performance as an Oscars cohost, but instead of responding to that, he is lashing out against another negative review. He posted a photo on his Twitter account that read "F*ck The Yale Daily News," after a student wrote an article in the school newspaper calling out his "boring" tweets.

James seemed to handle the Oscars criticism well, but clearly he didn't take this blow as easily, so tell us — do you think his response is understandable or immature?

He probably has to respond well to the Oscar criticism because those are people he hopes to work with in the future. Yale Daily News, he probably couldn't care less so why (in his mind) self-censor?

twitter is for the lonely, FB is for the desperate....love James, he's on another planet and I'd gladly join him although I don't find him remotely attractive most times

Whatever. Don't Yale students have more important things to do than comment on celebrity tweets? Why is this news....?

I don't think his Twitter posts are that boring, anyway. Not boring enough to have an article written about them. I've followed WAY more boring people. They're just jumping on the bandwagon of kicking him when he's down, and he has every right to respond by giving them what they want... a more exciting tweet. Good on him.

Understandable, people are being disgusting about his and Anne's hosting chemistry. I watched the entire Oscars and I thought they were cute/great together. Sure, at times he seemed tired but he's spread himself thin. He models, acts in a tv show, movies, goes to 2 different colleges. Lets not give the guy shyt, he's human. Things happen. I just think he's realizing that being in Hollywood can be hard because you can't please everyone all the time, and when people in Hollywood aren't in love with you, they're hating you. In a very public way.

He is being immature he could have ignored it I mean come on they called his twitter boring and he flips out over that he needs to grow-up because if plans to be in show business for a long time he can expect to get a lot of negative criticism .

Aw... I think he did a great job impersonating John Mayer as the Oscars host.

I think the point is that the Yale article was essentially telling him to be more like Kanye to make his Twitter ineresting. His response is not "lashing out," it's giving the paper what it's asking for.
