Where's Wellwood Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 NEW YORK (CNNMoney) It's not the first corporate Twitter blunder, but it might be one of the most obscene. A link to a pornographic image was included in a tweet from the US Airways twitter account Monday. The company says it was a mistake. US Airways was replying to a customer who was complaining about service on Twitter. The company's response said it welcomes feedback and the link should have led to a web page where customers can submit complaints on its website. The image was initially posted to US Airways' Twitter stream by a user and flagged by the airline as inappropriate, the company said. But the airline then "inadvertently" included a link to the pornographic image in one of its own tweets. It was deleted as soon as US Airways realized the error. "We deeply regret the mistake and we are currently reviewing our processes to prevent such errors in the future," said a company spokeswoman in a prepared statement. http://money.cnn.com/2014/04/14/news/companies/us-airways-tweet/ I won't post a link to the photo but it is easily found through Google Images and it is explicit. US Airways will probably gain some users because of this gaffe. I know I'm more willing to book a flight with them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Smith did what he's accused of he's an even bigger moron than the girl. She's 14 and possibly has never been on a plane in her life and has no idea how seriously airlines take security. Smith flies frequently and knows the drill plus he's 24. He's a Grade A moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Saying you are going to do something big is not a crime, saying you are a member of a terrorist group might be. Stupid teenager is stupid.I used to work with a guy that said every time he flew he took a bomb with him, he had no intention of setting it off, he just figured the odds of there being two bombs on the plane were incredibly small.

nuckin_futz Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 People make mistakes - doesn't make them a moron. Losing your car keys is a mistake. Mixing up salt and sugar is a mistake. Telling airport screeners that you have a bomb is not a mistake. It's dumb, idiotic, stupid, moronic, all those descriptions work just fine. From the article.......... "With the arrest, Smith is involved in three pending criminal cases." In my opinion, he should stop making so many "mistakes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I guess I'm being a semantics police officer... I see what you're saying. For example, someone who drinks isn't necessarily a drunk. However judging from his body of work I think we can safely label him a moron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Social media is really showing how we are regressing as a species. Whats more shocking is the responses I've been seeing regarding the girls tweet. Oh, she's just a kid, she doesn't know any better. Stuff like that. Society seems to make excuses for everything nowadays to try to absolve people of being responsible. 14 is grade 8 or 9 if I remember correctly. You are not a child, and you should no better. Especially in the world we live in today. Too many excuses in today's world, and it's making making people think they don't have to be accountable for their actions.

Gurn Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 "I'm going to do something really big" presumably includes some death.Why do you think that? She could have meant she was going to have a party or run for mayor of her town or anyone of thousands of different things. You jump to the assumption of her killing people because of how you think, not what she said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
