Bill Cosby asks Twitter users to meme him, gets flood of rape references

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Bill Cosby tried to have a little fun by asking his Twitter followers meme him, but it quickly backfired as people tweeted memes about rape allegations against him.

The original tweet came with a link to a meme generator on the Bill Cosby website. Both the tweet and the generator have since been deleted.
