Someone today pointed out to me that the username “Jesus” hadn’t been taken on Twitter – when you go to twitter.com/jesus it’s blank – and suggested I take the username. I was sure someone would have already grabbed, so I went to check out what would happen if I tried to register it. Sure enough, Twitter says the username is already taken:
Although this is obviously not true.
My question is – what if Jesus comes back, tries to reach his followers via Twitter and finds out it’s already taken?! Is this religious discrimination by Twitter?
I’m sure there are some latin folks out there with the name Jesus (hey-zooss) who are pretty pissed too….
Christ, on the other hand is taken and being used. Somewhat weird though.
