Celebrity Deaths Ruin Chef's Precious Chicken-Making Opportunity
Gawker - New York,NY,USA
The deaths of Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett and Ed McMahon were catastropic... to Tyler Florence's publicity efforts. Also apparently tragic: having to ...

I am told by one of our Twitter followers that Tyler has since apologized.

Wow, I can't believe Tyler was that insensitive. Shows him a whole different light, if he truly did make that statement. How disappointing.

Maybe he should lay off Twitter.

Last week it was the cat in heat comment, now this.

It's nice that he has been so active. Especially for his fans. I think sometimes people make too much out of what people say in 140 characters or less. It's hard to see the whole perspective there. I am sure he wasn't being flip about their deaths. The travel is probably tough and I can see how it would be frustrating. And I am sure he doesn't want anyone else to die for many reasons ... not just his travel.

[MiseEnPlace]

I can understand his frustration and limited nature of the tweet. I think he's right about flipping on the filter switch.

Twitter / Tyler Florence: That was a little insensit ...

He does tend to Twitter a wee much. He does it so much I've been surprised that he doesn't announce when he goes to the bathroom.

Some people are just like that. They engage mouth before brain and end up putting their foot in it. I have a friend who does a show on a major sports network and he has put his foot into it quite a few times and ends up having to apologize.

one thing about it, it all amounts to how much somebody can make off your statement and use it to make you sound like an A$$ and that is what that publication was doing making money selling it paper or magazine or web page what ever it was selling. You notice they put it so it sounded like he said all that and if you just read the headlines, I would of thought he was complaining about the jet thing also. Then the people that write the comments only read about half of what the article says.

Sort of reminds me of my old boss being mad that business was always slow on 9/11.
