Today On Twitter: When A Joke Goes Too Far

A video of a stand-up comedian, Jocelyn Chia, has gone viral on social media for her jokes about the MH370 incident. Reactions from people have consisted of mostly anger and disappointment at her remarks and even led to Singapore’s High Commissioner, Vanu Gopala Menon, issuing a public apology on behalf of Jocelyn.
