You ever send a letter to someone or a voice mail and realized way too late that you couldn't take it back? Well, today you can do this but instead of the one person you meant to send it to and their friend they most definitely showed your ramblings to thousands if not millions of people can witness your mistake. With things like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram you can post something and have people you don't know and will never meet, like me, see the kinda bullshit you post.
A PR specialist, which as you keep
reading will become far too damned ironic, named Justine Sacco was
fired after posting a Tweet. “Going to Africa. Hope I don't get
AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!” She worked at InterActive Corp., a
company that also owns Match.com, Dictionary.com, and Vimeo which are
all huge companies to work for. She ended up posting an apology after
she realized how big a shit storm she'd caused. Of course she's
deleted her account since then.
