#JennyAsks Turns Into Internet Hilarity as ‘Haters’ Respond

A few days ago, Jenny McCarthy asked a pretty innocuous question. “What is the most important personality trait you look for in a mate?” She asked people to reply using #JennyAsks.

Being the face of the anti-vaccine movement, things did not go so well. At least for Jenny. If this was OkCupid, she may as well have been an overweight male minority whose only picture is of him sitting in a scooter at his computer playing World of Warcraft.

All the normal things. Humor. Compassion. Scientific literacy. Lack of hypocrisy. Someone who'd like to avoid a return to polio #JennyAsks

Jenny McCarthy responded in the only way she knew how. By bragging about the haters increasing her Q Score.

Thank you to all the haters who tweet my name. You make my Q SCORE higher and higher. It's because of you I continue to work. Thank you! : )

Oh no, a popularity metric normal people don’t care about is being inflated for an idiot. Guess we better stop now.
