U.S. Airways just sent out the worst tweet in the history of Twitter

[Bosonic]

It is being called “the most epic corporate social media fuckup ever.” A tweet published by the handle @usairways included a photograph of a naked woman employing a model airplane as a dildo.

US Airways deleted the tweet seconds after it was posted, but not before a viral uproar broke out on Twitter. But no worries, the Internet never forgets. WARNING: The following link contains pornographic imagery! I mean seriously, NOT SAFE FOR WORK. But if you really must, it’s here. I don’t recommend it.

US Airways has apologized and is “investigating.”

10. 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.'
