Scott Baio has had some issues of late. He’s mad. Mad at liberals, mad at uninformed fans, and really mad at the Internet. Crazy mad. But a recent history of Baio’s insanity reveals that his fall was all but inevitable.
The warning signs were everywhere, be it according to the all-too-common fate of fallen stars, or Baio’s uncomfortable reality show. But his Internet meltdown started gaining momentum on October 27, 2009. This was when we first took note of Scott Baio’s interesting Twitter contributions. Granted, back in these early days, Scott was less of an angry guy and more the type to remind pro-choicers to be kind to their mothers.
Harmless! But by October 30, Baio’s gentle reminders quickly morphed into incoherent anger.
Baio had calmed down on November 9, choosing instead to redirect his energies towards his speciality: international border control.
But international issues could only hold Scott’s attention for so long. A pop-culture icon himself, he turned his attentions on November 23 to Lady Gaga, of whom he is not a fan.
Scott Baio, however, is not just a man of rage, and he had moments of sensitivity. Take, for instance, his December 21 response to the death of Brittany Murphy.
In January, however, Baio marked the new year by a return to his natural state: Not Awesome. He tweeted this picture of Michelle Obama with some intelligent commentary:
Shortly thereafter, on January 20, Baio — under fire for being, you know, totally cruel — explained himself: His (wife’s) best friend is black!
He also posted a helpful picture, in case the haters didn’t believe him.
