Virgin Australia tells Kanye to ‘EAD’
If there’s one person you don’t want to get into a Twitter flame war with right now it’s probably rapper Kanye West, who’s been in the news of late for his controversial tweets.
Which is why Dr Mumbo feels Virgin Australia might not have been in full control of its Twitter account when a tweet was sent telling Mr West “EAD (eat a dick) you douche”.
Twitter immediately started speculating it a was a rogue employee accidentally tweeting from the company account, which has some 210,000 followers. The airline quickly shot that suggestion down:
Go Virgin – Love it!
Considering not flying Virgin now because they removed the tweet. Post it again and promote the ’employee’ or at least give them their job back.
In the words of Kayne: People always say that you can’t please everybody. I think that’s a cop-out. Why not attempt it? ‘Cause think of all the people you will please if you try.
I wonder if “not published by a Virgin employee” is an evasive way of saying “published by the social team at our agency Eleven PR.”
Though that would be odd since the operations centre manages the Twitter account.
Gold, pure gold! 🙂
