Blake Shelton Brags About Killing A Turtle On Twitter

Country music star and coach on NBC's The Voice, Blake Shelton, just shocked Twitter by claiming he intentionally ran over a turtle. When he was called out for cruelty, he didn't show much remorse.

The initial tweet:

An NPR blogger asked if the tweet was a joke.

And Blake was less than courteous.

Shelton's tweets have prompted some ugly comments.

So, what's the deal with supporting this guy, NBC?

Update: Shelton indicated the tweet was a joke and that he wasn't in Oklahoma yesterday. Barbara King (@bjkingape) weighed in at NPR regarding why these tweets matter anyway. Shelton's fans continue to threaten turtles in defense of the initial tweet. I echo King in hoping that these fans aren't serious.
