Comedian Aziz Ansari thinks that’s ridiculous, and tweeted as much:

[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"596044","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"274","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]

[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"596045","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"200","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]

[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"596046","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"202","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"480"}}]]

Then Ansari started the hashtag #RupertsFault:
