I would like to give some context.

As a Spaniard I don't know what this article talks about. I didn't know about Quitter.es and I consider myself someone informed. Even more, the Twitter user that originated the "revolution" (@Barbijaputa... translated as @Beard-Bitch, no comment) is no longer using Quitter.es anymore from what I can read.

edit: fix typo.

FWIW, @barbijaputa is a contraction for "Barbie hija puta", which would be literally translated as "Barbie, daughter of a whore", although it's best understood as "Barbie the bastard". See her profile pic:

"Bastard Barbie" or "Evil Barbie".
