Rob Lowe vs. Owen Jones Twitter Beef: Greece 'Financial Crisis' Sparks Hilarious 'Trolling' Feud, Fans React

On Monday (June 29), beloved actor Rob Lowe decided to get political on Twitter:

@RobLowe: "One clue that the leader of Greece gives no f$cks about his country defaulting: not wearing a tie as he addresses his government."

He then tried getting interactive:

@RobLowe: "Do I have any economists out there? Please educate me: gimme 3 reasons why #Greece is where it is today. What's the lesson?"

Apparently, Lowe enjoyed the online debate:

@RobLowe: "I love my followers. You guys rock. There seems to be a broad consensus on why. Will other countries/politicians ever learn? #Greece."

Well, until renowned British The Guardian columnist Owen Jones joined the cyber conversation:

@OwenJones84: "@RobLowe stick to the increasingly unwatchable films."

Ouch. Well, the 51-year-old "The Outsiders" star wouldn't back down so easily:

@RobLowe: "I'll try to do better than the multiple Emmy's, Golden Globes and BAFTA's my last one won. Do your homework pal."

Not a hugely controversial Twitter spat, but several fans were still thoroughly amused:

@RealMattLucas: "I put a pound on Rob Lowe and Owen Jones having a bust-up on Twitter over the Greece situation and just won twenty million pounds. Result."

@GrinBins: "Owen Jones is trolling Rob Lowe - badly [crying]."

@WillBlackWriter: "Rob Lowe and Owen Jones - like a weird Breakfast Club detention pairing."

@MattBurton_law: "Rob Lowe putting Owen Jones in his place is a highlight of 2015."

@screwlabour: "Rob Lowe makes a point about Greece. Owen Jones only offers an insult. Rob Lowe puts Owen Jones back in his box."

@martinhines: "The audacity of that toad Owen Jones slagging off big Rob Lowe. Rob should smash him with his St Elmo's Fire sax."

@jackanori: "Owen Jones hasn't watched Parks & Rec. Rob Lowe was in Parks & Rec. There's only one winner here."

@Magnus_Jamieson: "The beauty of twitter- Rob Lowe and Owen Jones bickering at midnight on a monday. Amazing."

‏@dandouglas: "waiting for the Rob Lowe/Owen Jones beef to escalate to the point where I can chip in with 'Wow, that was a 'lowe' blow' - and hoover up favs."

@Saraita101: "Rob Lowe v Owen Jones is the fight none of us wanted, but it's the fight we need... for the lols."

So, does Lowe win this battle?
