BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Comedy Twitter feed lands TV deal

Another sign of the TV times

A Twitter feed featuring pearls of wisdom from a 73-year-old father could become a family comedy on US TV.

Justin Halpern, 29, has become an internet star with more than 700,000 followers since he began posting his father's often profane words of wisdom.

An example “pearl” (see the full article for more):

"Don't touch the bacon, it's not done yet. You let me handle the bacon, and I'll let you handle... whatever it is you do. I guess nothing."
