Jim Carrey's Goodbye Tweet Is A Treat If You Like Naked Lighthouse Keepers Who Sing
Actor Jim Carrey announced Tuesday he’s leaving Twitter by posting an odd cartoon of a naked lighthouse keeper invoking heavenly forces in a deluge. (Watch it below.)
“I’m leaving Twitter, but 1st here’s a cartoon I made with my friend Jimmy Hayward,” Carrey wrote in a tweet Tuesday. “It’s based on my painting of a crazy old Lighthouse Keeper, standing naked in a storm, summoning the angels and shining his lamp to guide us through a treacherous night. I love you all so much!”
Carrey, who’s often used the platform to skewer former President Donald Trump and other right-wing figures, appeared to take a funkier approach to his supposed farewell.
“Angels fill this place with light / And all that’s good and all that’s right,” the keeper sings in the sea-shanty-like tune. He bursts into maniacal laughter at the end.

In an artwork earlier in November, the “Sonic the Hedgehog” star slammed new Twitter owner Elon Musk as “Capt Smirk ... boldly going where no unbridled ego has gone before.”
Capt Smirk fired 1/2 his crew. He’s banning comics: shadow banning unverified users, boldly going where no unbridled ego has gone before. Says, “$8/mo is the price of a latte.” True. It’s also cheaper than a T-shirt saying “Rob me. I’m a gullible ass!” BTW Mars mission? FAKE NEWS pic.twitter.com/qWrwD4vSis
