Steve Justice 806 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Took me a while to get that. To be honest I wasn't paying much attention because I was too busy looking good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Zeb 1,897 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 What was the intended gimmick there, and how did they leave it open to abuse? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Frankie Crisp 5,220 Posted August 15, 2017 Paid Members Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 4 hours ago, Uncle Zeb said: What was the intended gimmick there, and how did they leave it open to abuse? They asked users to reply to the post using a certain hashtag, which then inserted the content into the video/images. Mind-boggling in this day and age that they thought it'd end any other way. Some of the replies were funny but when people start mocking Bradley Lowery's death via it? Grim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuperBacon 7,547 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Thought it automatically tweeted users who had retweeted a post about athletics and what was written on the cards was the usernames which people had changed when they realised what was happening? Either way, can't believe they did this literally months after the Walkers debacle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otto Dem Wanz 1,389 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I once sent a picture of a sausage dinner to an awards ceremony doing the same thing but I'd probably draw the line at Jimmy Savile, Maddie McCann and Hillsborough.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members BomberPat 7,363 Posted October 24, 2017 Paid Members Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Nate Crowley (@FrogCroakley) is one of my favourite people on Twitter - he has a couple books out, largely off the back of his Twitter stuff. He did a thing at the beginning of the year of "1 Like and I'll invent a pitch for a fictional video game", which created some of the funniest concepts I've ever seen, and is now the subject of a book called "100 Best Video Games That Never Existed".
