Please no more terror. We feel just awful about the Ass Beer," gaining over 130 retweets and 3,100 likes (shown below, right). Watson would later go on to condemn the mockery by writing, "The fact that people in this thread more vehemently defend the 'freedom; of a barmaid to serve a beer with her ass than they will ever defend freedom of speech tells you everything you need to know about the current state of western society."^[2]

One popular means of mocking Watson was a Simpsons reference to a clip in which Smithers is terrified of women's butts in a strip club. This was tweeted by @greysfaher and @TheSocietyDude, among others (shown below).
