Twitter finally finds a way to silence Piers Morgan — and for a good cause

It is safe to say that Piers Morgan has stirred some controversy lately, from calling people attending the Women's Marches in January "rabid feminists" to his Twitter feud with J.K. Rowling.

So when he pledged to go silent on social media for 24 hours if the British public raised £5,000 ($6,225) for Comic Relief, somebody saw an opportunity. 

After the announcement, Lord Sugar, the host of the UK edition of The Apprentice, posted a video on Twitter offering to pay the entire sum to shut him up.
