A junior Yale student, Corky Cohen, wrote a blog for the Yale Daily News criticizing James Franco's Tweets, which he Tweeted back a response saying,"F*** THE YALE DAILY NEWS." But Corky says her comments were all in fun and she knows his were, too!

“Your Twitter sort of sucks,” was Corky's message in the Yale Daily News blog, to which James Tweeted his not-so-nice response.
But Corky, a junior English major, isn't upset.
“My tone is tongue-in-cheek,” she explained to The New Haven Register.

And she believes James' response was made in the same way.
“It was purposefully, intentionally overblown,” the 20-year-old student said. “All of these news outlets taking these seriously when it seemed so obvious. Youth culture is all about being sarcastic. He sort of fits in.”
