Kirstie Alley Learned That You Should Never Go After A Curler
February 21, 2018
Normally when Kirstie Alley is looking for ways to piss off society-at-large, she does normal fame ho things like endorse Donald Trump or throw darts at a photo of Leah Remini, so her latest stunt may have been – dare I say it – an actual misspeak? The first rule of curling is you don’t shit on curling.
Every Winter Olympics, there’s nothing better than watching a team of four people who look like suburban parents push a big stone Roomba around. Curling may not be the most athletic of sports, but what they lack in physical ardor, they make up in screams! Kirstie wasn’t having any of it, and she quickly found out curling wasn’t having any of Kirstie.
USA Today notes Kirstie took to Twitter (and since deleted the message) to say she wasn’t trying to be mean, that curling is kind of boring. Little did she know she was poking a stealth hornet’s nest! Some of these replies from the U.S. men’s curling team even made my hiney blush, and I’m not even Kirstie!

Ha! I mean, Shelley Long does seem like the type to totally change shifts at Cheers to go watch a couple of Boston bros sweep ice for a few hours. Kirstie seemed willing to give it another chance but not before huffing out a final word:
Another day to try and be as "sensitive" as possible to not offend anyone anywhere anytime …about anything..lmfao GOOD LUCK

She also is getting free shit out of this!
Awww @kirstiealley, we knew you'd come around! Allow us or our good friends at @HollywoodCurl to show you and your son the ropes sometime. In the meantime, let us outfit you both with a @usacurl shirt. #TeamKirstie #TeamShuster #TeamUSA #curling #cheers https://t.co/hI8PIgqzOH

That’s total horse shit. I’m going to bitch about how “boring” it is at the Four Seasons in Cabo and see if I can get that kind of reaction.
