Stabbed in the back.

Just heard the news. Has Sam no sense of fun??

[67splitscreen]

Strange one if the rumour is correct, he must have known about for ages, why now, every man and his dog knows it's all just good banter.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Read somewhere that Sam took legal action through LMA to get it shut down as he was disgusted by some of the comments. Understandable really.

[DE.]

I'll miss looking out for his updates

Gutted, fake Sam was awesome, the guy pretending to be Kean is just trying too hard to be funny and it's not working.

[Ste B]

I just cant watch thundercats again without thinking of Rita.. Thanks Big Sam.....

[SAS]

Gutted the guy is comedy genius

[broadsword]

It's still cached on google.

The "fanny salad" reference threw me a little, but I knew what she wanted. Big Sam. And plenty of him.

It had passed its sell by date and ceased being particularly funny. I took it off my Twitter follow.

Really??

Clearly the sense of humour bypass worked a treat, if there was ever any doubt it had in the first place.

There was still a gem posted every now and again. I usually found the inoffensive clean posts the funniest.

Still remember guffawing at Ewood when reading the post about him wearing his wife's knickers and the little diamante digging into his pubic thatch.

Brilliant.

2 #FreeTheBigSam Designs now added to the shop

[deftangel]

Some of the comments were close to the mark! The Resident Evil 4 one yesterday was particularly amusing! I can see why Sam had it canned although I'm not sure on what basis as it made it explicit the account was fake if I remember correctly.

[Glenn]

He may be under @not_thebig_sam (or it may be a copycat, only time will tell) oh and #FreeTheBigSam is now trending.

Does anyone have any proof twitter canned him at the real Big Sam's request as people are claiming, or has he just fallen fowl of twitter's "Thou shalt not impersonate a celebrity" rule ?

[SamTheShrew]

bit rediculous imo - 'Big Sam' is neither his name nor a copywritten trademark

[LeChuck]

There was a tweet 2 minutes ago, where is the info that says it is banned? I hope not.

He's gone from suspended to deleted. 'This user does not exist' says Twitter.

Hmm. When I'm logged in and click on his username, it says it doesn't exist.

Twitter sucks.

there is a very fake not the big sam set up that is dross, original matey did all his tweets via iphone which gives away the fake account along with it just being dire.
