So, Piers Morgan took a little Sunday swipe at Rupert Murdoch as the London Olympic games continued.
Murdoch invited Morgan to lead by example:
@piersmorgan ok Piers, you set example first.
— Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) August 6, 2012
@piersmorgan @rupertmurdoch Yeah right – so what sports do Morgan's many chins partake in?
— Brian Dawes (@Gooner48) August 5, 2012
Morgan responded by bragging about his exercise…and his exercise attire. Many Twitter users who read his answer wish they had a gallon of mind bleach to erase the imagery.
Eww-y:
Lycra on, off for my early morning run RT @rupertmurdoch @piersmorgan ok Piers, you set example first.

Morgan blithely proceeded with his physical fitness lecture:
The Government should order at least 1hr of compulsory daily sport for every State school child in Britain + provide staff/equipment.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 6, 2012
Then buy back the playing fields so disgracefully sold off by successive Tory/Labour governments. Capitalise on this Olympic fever.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 6, 2012
Get our bored youth fit & playing competitive sport every day – then watch teenage obesity, violence, hooliganism, crime etc disintegrate.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 6, 2012
Can’t argue with this point:
Final point: make school sports competitive again. No more of this banning egg-and-spoon races crap to avoid upsetting poor little Tiddles.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 6, 2012
@piersmorgan and no more participation awards for just showing up!
— Justin (@smockshawktalk) August 6, 2012
Looks like someone’s auditioning to be Britain’s “Let’s Move” czar.
