"The E! Entertainment Network is famous for its award show red carpet coverage, which usually involves a fancy new GlamCam or Mani Cam or other cam spotlighting the dolled-up attendees. \nBut this weekend, the inclusion of E!'s \"fun facts\" scrolling across the bottom of the TV screen at the 71st Golden Globe Awards made waves instead. The lighthearted trivia tidbits quickly shifted from fun to WTF.\nSee also: Every Ridiculous Moment You Missed From the 2014 Golden Globes\nTwitter lit up Sunday evening when a fact about actor Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's diagnosis popped up on the screen. \n\nImage: Tumblr babyastronauts\n\n\nThe factoid felt insensitive, considering the actor has charmed audiences since his Family Ties days and has tallied up a great deal of trivia-worthy facts that don't involve his health. For instance, his middle initial doesn't stand for anything; it was added to differentiate himself from another Michael Fox in the Screen Actor's Guild. \nThe network apologized on Monday, according to a statement obtained by Entertainment Weekly: \nThe network said it regretted the insensitive remark. In its statement, E! said that \u201CWe understand the serious nature of the disease and sincerely apologize.\"\nBut that wasn't soon enough to stop the meme-makers from having a field day with the gaffe. Take a look below.\n\n\nE!'s Golden Globes 2014 'Fun Facts'\n\n\n\n\n\nAt least the first half of this can be considered a 'fun fact.' pic.twitter.com/YZgPw9uZ6U\u2014 Brandon Rohwer (@brandonRohwer) January 13, 2014\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese Golden Globes \"fun facts\" are getting darker and darker pic.twitter.com/SD1E38Pg9o\u2014 Dan Amira (@DanAmira) January 12, 2014\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr folkinz.tumblr\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr gagagita\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr nickborelli\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage: Tumblr gracie-law\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave something to add to this story?
