Facebook temporally takes down Roger Ebert’s Fan Page

Roger Ebert pissed off more than a few people with his comments yesterday about Ryan Dunn's death (allegedly, the Jackass star was drunk driving). Apparently enough people complained (or trolled) that Facebook took Ebert's page down.
Ebert took to Twitter, posting this:
"Facebook has removed my page in response, apparently, to malicious complaints from one or two jerks."
And also this:
"Facebook! My page is harmless and an asset to you. Why did you remove it in response to anonymous jerks? Makes you look bad."
It's not entirely sure what the exact complaints were that got the page taken down, but it seems like the page was automatically taken down by the servers without human review. And I assume Facebook would restore the account after they look into it.
UPDATE: A Facebook rep says that the page was taken down by mistake:
"The page was was removed in error. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Problem solved?

Friends don't let jackasses drink and drive.[/quote]
Why do we live in a world where everyone can get so butt hurt over every little thing?
It's not like he's even lying about not letting people drink and drive, I bet it's some butthurt people that didn't know that did Jackass.
His joke actually has a serious message that is totally acceptable.
I saw Roger Ebert and used to feel bad for him but he's an arrogant prick.
Yeah friends shouldn't let jackasses drive drunk but at least jackasses CAN drive :colbert:

Your excessive use of pronouns disturbs me.
I hate critics. Why don't you try to make a better movie? Why don't you try to make a better meal? You can't.

Do you realize that you just criticized critics, making YOU a critic?
Seriously? There's a million things on Facebook more deserving than that.

I hate idiots that use this as a fucking excuse for making shitty things
I do admit that Ebert has a good message, but he still was being an insensitive dick, he could've at least waited a few days before posting that, I wonder how it felt to read that for Bam.

I have never made a movie better than The Room. Therefore I am not allowed to criticize it.

You do same/better is the worst counter-argument ever.
With the exception of just shouting douchebag and running away.

He can't.
"sry lol it was accident"
Though ebert has a valid point, it comes off as a bit insensitive and cold.

As if that means jack-shit. Why don't you try and govern a country better? Can't, oh well, you lost every right to say anything against the government.
Things are bad despite you being worse are better.
Also, I don't get why everyone is so fond of this guy. he did movies where he injured himself, so what? He's right, he made his point in a great pun, why is everyone being so pissy about it?
roger ebert's a bad critic anyways
