    Monty Python star John Cleese has rubbed people the wrong way with a tweet he sent out earlier today. Not ideal..

    This, from the Mirror:

    Comedian John Cleese has sparked outrage after tweeting a ‘joke’ about the death of Oscar Pistorius’ model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

    The Fawlty Towers star had not tweeted for a month but broke his silence to write: “Oscar’s defence will be that he was absolutely legless at the time.”


    His post immediately came under attack from people.

    @rayascott said: “Again, comedians on Twitter: so NOT funny.”

    @tinpanscally tweeted: “Wow, I didn’t expect the first Pistorius joke on my timeline to come from John Cleese.”

    @GaryLemke wrote: “You can’t be serious??! Ffs. “@JohnCleese: Oscar’s defence will be that he was absolutely legless at the time.”

    ?@TheresaNovak said: “@JohnCleese That is not funny … Not imaginative or outlandish or marvelously irreverent. It’s just sad and stupid.”

    ?@Jacobrill added: “Two of my heroes, @Trevornoah and @JohnCleese went there. Bad form. Very disappointed.”

    ???@LevParikian tweetd: “John Cleese broke a twitter silence to make a Pistorius joke. My 11-year-old self, the one who fell in love with Fawlty Towers, is crying.”
