According to SMH, Biggs upset his Twitter followers for Tweeting an advised joke about the Malaysian Airlines Flight disaster. His Tweet said, "Anyone wanna buy my Malaysian Airlines frequent flier miles?".
His tweets kept getting more rational. "In all seriousness, tho (though) - How do you mistakenly shoot down a commercial plane?! Ugh.
"It's saddest for the victims and their families, obviously. But Malaysia Airlines is apparently a GREAT airline. Gonna be tough to recover"
"Hey all you 'too soon' a**holes - it's a f***ing joke. You don't have to think it's funny, or even be on my twitter page at all.
"The idea that I wouldnt have any empathy 4 the victims or their families because I make a joke is absolutely ridiculous. U know that, right (sic)? Truly - you losers are literally trying to find s*** to get angry about. Channel your issues elsewhere"
The above Tweets were deleted and Biggs realized the seriousness of the matter.
CNN notes that Biggs has a long history of posting controversial tweets on Twitter. Some of his Tweets included a series of sexually explicit comments aimed toward Republican politicians and their wives during the 2012 election.
Biggs felt guilty and decided to apologize for the Tweets he posted. His new Tweets are as follows.
