Twitter Comedian Kelly Oxford Steals Her Own Tweets
Kelly Oxford used to be known for being a Canadian housewife whose Twitter feed you couldn't turn away from. In three years she amassed over half a million dedicated followers. Celebrities like Jimmy Kimmel and Olivia Wilde RT'd her en masse. Then came the script deals. Followed by the movie. And after that, the book deal.
As it turns out, the joke reservoir is starting to dry up. A quick glance at her FavStar—an aggregator of popular tweets—reveals that on numerous occasions, Oxford has plagiarized tweets. Her own.
Exhibit A: Evolution
September 2010:
Christine O'Donnell: 'If evolution is real why are there still monkeys?' Well Christine, education is real and there are still morons.

When someone says, "If evolution is real, why are there still monkeys?" Tell them, "Education is real and there are still morons."

At some point, Oxford decided to at least try to switch it up a bit: she swapped out one show title for the other, or you know, interchangeable Eastern continents.
Exhibit H: Canadians
March 2012:
Canadians watch US politics like Americans watch Jersey Shore.

Lesson learned kids: if you want to make it in this biz, plagiarize. Often.
