Earlier this week, millions of Benedict Cumberbatch fans learned some heartbreaking news: the actor recently got engaged to theater director Sophie Hunter. The announcement came in a traditional newspaper ad. Of course, you can't take out a newspaper ad to vent your sadness over the engagement, which is why there's Twitter. Can someone help these mourning fans already?
