A tweet told the presenter to ‘go and fuck himself’
Channel 4 have taken edgy corporate Twitter accounts to a new level with an expletive-ridden tirade against loudmouth TV presenter Piers Morgan.
The Twittersphere was lit up on Friday by the incendiary comments, the television channel tweeting off their official account to dub Morgan ‘a bellend’ and ‘among the top one wankers in the history of human civilisation’.
Dear @PiersMorgan. Unfortunately our lawyers wouldn't allow us to say you're the single biggest wanker in the history of human civilisation. But you're in the top 1. #SU2CRewards

Morgan himself even got in on the act in replying to a claim he should ‘go and fuck’ himself.
Dear @PiersMorgan. Hope you're having a wonderful morning. Why don’t you go and f**k yourself. #SU2CRewards,

For the record, @Channel4 – if I could, I would.

Naturally, things also got political as the 53-year-old was suggested to have united the nation’s Brexit divide.
Dear @PiersMorgan. The only thing that Brexit Leavers and Remainers agree on is that you’re a massive bellend. #SU2CRewards,

The reason behind the tweets is a Stand Up To Cancer campaign in which, for every donation of £50 to the charity, they will insult Piers Morgan on Twitter.
Also on offer is a simple follow from the Channel 4 account, for £5, while for £50 they will ‘throw shade’ at a rival TV show of the donator’s choosing.
A donation of £100 buys a dick pic (no, really) with £250 bagging the opportunity to pitch a new show to a C4 commissioner, who will give feedback on the idea.
Ok, Twitter. Today we’re gonna raise some serious cash for @StandUp2C. Below is a donation menu: the more you give, the better the reward. Using #SU2CRewards, tell us what you donated and the reward you want. Oh and guys, this is for cancer…don’t be a dick and lie about donating pic.twitter.com/KpBHEiMP4Z
