"  They say that March is madness for college basketball players. But heroes go to war every day on Twitter, fighting for followers, fending off trolls, and out-smarting the sharpest minds the Internet can offer up. Countless tweeters have been left behind. But the best of the best \u2014 the wittiest, the most artful, the most inflammatory \u2014 have made it to our tournament. And screw that meritocratic seeding crap from the NCAAs. We built this thing for the match-ups. God versus science. Donald versus philosophy. Bieber versus Bissinger. It&amp;#039;s on you to decide who survives each round. Before the billings of the battles is a survey. Fill it out and see if your favorites make it to the next round. And print out a bracket for your own foretelling. Let&amp;#039;s get to this. Kanye West (@KanyeWest) vs. Tyler, the Creator (@FuckTyler)  Kanye was the world&amp;#039;s most controversial rapper. Then Tyler came along. Both keep their followers on edge \u2014 Kanye sporadically lists qualities he respects (his feed this year: &amp;quot;Truth.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Beauty.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Minimalism.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Emotion.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Soul.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Awesomeness.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Functionality.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Authenticity.&amp;quot;), and there&amp;#039;s occasional poetry in Tyler&amp;#039;s rambles (&amp;quot;WHAT IF THE WAY I SEE BLUE IS THE WAY YOU SEE YELLOW?&amp;quot;). But only one brand of WTF can win out.  Justin Bieber (@JustinBieber) vs. Buzz Bissinger (@BuzzBissinger) Twitter&amp;#039;s two most polarizing figures face off at last. Who will prevail? The masterful artist whose crude outbursts and Olympian temper threaten to undo him? Or Buzz Bissinger? Mia Farrow (@MiaFarrow) vs. Yoko Ono (@YokoOno) We love Mia Farrow. We really do. But we also love Yoko Ono. What we love more is that both women have taken to Twitter so naturally to broadcast their urgent political pleas. We almost hate to pit them against each other. But it must be done. Bill Simmons (@BillSimmons) vs. Not Bill Walton (@NotBillWalton) How does a sports analyst explain the recent impenetrable Skip Bayless/Richard Sherman kerfuffle? By tamely saying &amp;quot;Nobody won&amp;quot; and getting suspended from Twitter for it like the actual Bill Simmons? Or declaring &amp;quot;#RichardSherman vivisected the charlatan known as Skip Bayless by ripping off his head, defecating down his throat &amp;amp;amp; trampling on his soul!&amp;quot; like Not Bill Walton. Game on. William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) vs. George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) If someone ten years ago told you that two of the original stars of Star Trek would become two of the most beloved and intensely followed personalities on the Internet, you would have probably laughed in their face. And yet now it all somehow makesperfect sense. Florida Man (@_FloridaMan) vs. NYT On It (@NYTOnIt) Will true stories of the from the Sunshine State out-ridiculous the New York Times covering laughably self-evident stories? Is a man angrily shoveling a pile of mud at his neighbor more absurd than reporting on what&amp;#039;s on people&amp;#039;s nightstands? Rob Delaney (@RobDelaney) vs. Neal Brennan (@NealBrennan)  Twitter&amp;#039;s golden boy is comedian Delaney, who happily spews typo-ridden grossness to the well-known, like, to Fox News and Paul Ryan, &amp;quot;Why do wealthies have to poo out of their own butts ,cant a poor or a wommen do it .&amp;quot; But can underdog and Chappelle Show co-creator Neal Brennan with his more traditionally offensive approach: &amp;quot;Guantanamo Bay prison is like an NYC electronics store: Full of Middle Eastern dudes + always about to go out of business.&amp;quot; Ana Marie Cox (@AnaMarieCox) vs. Meghain McCain (@McCainBlogette) Two \u2014 we&amp;#039;ll say it \u2014 beautiful women. Two blogs and columns. Two often opposing takes on the capitol. One who&amp;#039;s had John McCain as a reporting subject. The other who has John McCain as her dad. Both with a puncher&amp;#039;s chance of lasting a while in this thing. Mindy Kaling (@MindyKaling) vs. Lena Dunham (@LenaDunham) Both are award-winning, self-deprecating female comedy auteurs. But let&amp;#039;s get down to what really matters: Who&amp;#039;s funnier in 140 characters? Lena: &amp;quot;Meanwhile, I really hate it when Cesar gets bitten on the Dog Whisperer. It makes me feel humiliated and lonely.&amp;quot;? Or Mindy: &amp;quot;So my type is Joffrey Baratheon and Draco Malfoy.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
