Twitter Account Becomes Sitcom?!

The popular (and profane) Twitter account Shit My Dad Says is now being turned into a CBS sitcom (and a book!), according to The Hollywood Reporter.

If you're not familiar with Justin Halpern's truly hilarious twitter account, you don't know what you're missing -- the 29-year-old (formerly) down-on-his-luck writer transcribes funny, crazy, weird and just plain wild stuff his 73-year-old father says and posts it onto his twitter account.

At 140 characters (or less), Halpern gives us glimpses of his cantankerous (but loving) father. His father's loving (but often biting) words to his son have proved resonant -- the account has over 700,000 followers and Halpern has a book and TV deal.

This is not unprecedented. The blog Stuff White People Like was turned into a best-selling book and its creator, Christian Lander, has appeared on TV several times.

My question for Shit My Dad Says is this -- what's the show's censor-friendly new title going to be?
