Ashton Kutcher is the king of Twitter ... but even kings make bad calls.
Kutcher got very enthusiastic on Sunday (the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks), Tweeting, "This [is] without a doubt the greatest day of the year!"
Of course, what Kutcher was actually referring to was the start of football. The Tweet continued, " ... Hello football my old friend. Let's us mingle for the next 5 months."
But after getting backlash from followers, the actor backtracked, saying:
Do you accept Ashton's apology?
