@BurgerKing fiasco!
Not sure if you've heard but Burger King's Twitter account was hacked today. The funny thing is that they changed everything on their site to McDonalds advertising. The hacker sent out rude tweets and pictures degrading Burger King. According to many sources, the password was whopper123 which has had many tweets about maybe developing a harder password. But my view on this is, is it really a bad thing? Not only did their followers increase to 111K today, but the buzz about Burger King was enormous on twitter. After a few hours, @BurgerKing was trending! When was the last time you tweeted about Burger King? My point exactly...Because of this one incident, Burger King has become national news. A website has now developed playing off of this situation called "Pretend You're Burger King". This is designed for anyone to come and tweet anything they want. Eventually, Burger King's Twitter site was taken down and will be issuing a apology sometime in the near future. Regardless of this being good or bad, Burger King has become popular today and will hopefully benefit from this fiasco!
