DJDonegal Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 We're at the point where these happen often enough for them to be recounted in a dedicated thread, rather than just a new thread each time one happens. The latest I've heard about was from Coca-Cola, who tried to be clever and instead made things much worse for themselves. Knowing corporate hashtag campaigns receive a lot of negative responses from the Twitterverse, they created a bot to use those negative tweets to create ASCII art. So someone started using the hashtag to quote Mein Kampf... And the Coca-Cola account obediently replied using those tweets in images. Inventive from both parties but it still leads to another collapsed hashtag campaign. I do wonder when companies/people will realise that these campaigns just don't work.

sologdin Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 there's plenty of reasons to loathe & oppose the coca cola company; defaming the firm as a white nationalist organization is simply reckless and unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 It's a bit weird to see that done by a media company instead of just some joker fucking around, although I guess that's mostly indistinguishable from Gawker anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhangel Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 #KeepTony - intended to be in support of officially-most-unpopular-Australian-PM-ever Tony Abbott who is, at least according to the media, on the edge of being ditched by his own party. This is about two weeks after he referred to social media as online graffiti. Maybe his version of 'for a good time, call...'? cathy alexander @realcathymary 6h6 hours ago“Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon.” Admiral Horatio Nelson #libspill #KeepTony0 replies 4 retweets 3 favorites just Phil @Phil_B7 10h10 hours agoPlease @LiberalAus keep @TonyAbbottMHR as your leader.
