Before we begin, please note that this account has not been verified. However, General Hameed Gul is real.
The Internet, and Twitter specifically, can be a beautiful place. And it can also be a festering pus-filled boiling pot of hate. And in one of our escapades, we found a Twitter account by the name of General Hameed Gul.
For the uninitiated (which until recently, included ourselves), General Hameed Gul is a retired officer of the Pakistan army, and former Director-General of the ISI.

His Twitter feed is peppered with gems like this:
Kripiya apne nuclear missiles stand-by mode par lagayiye.
Although to be fair, he does have good taste in music.
Wait, what’s this crap? He thanked everyone but John Mayer? What, is he not good enough for you?!
And like we mentioned before, he isn’t verified, but that hasn’t stopped him from gaining the attention of celebrities on our side of the border.

And whether this is the real General or not, we’re sure he’s not going to stop, because like his profile says:
