Earlier today, Doordarshan, India's public service broadcaster, tweeted this picture from its Twitter handle @DDNewsLive:
The caption was actually supposed to be paired with this picture, but obviously an "intern" got it wrong... Again. Damn those pesky butter-fingered interns!
@RegaJha this one
And this isn't even the first time that goddamn intern was found incapable of posting the correct picture and caption.
@RegaJha @RajaSen From Krishi Darshan to plum cakes with rum. They've come a long way baby #virginiaslimsquote
Let's not forget about the time a newsreader was sacked from Doordarshan News because she pronounced the name of Chinese President Xi Jinping as “Eleven Jinping” .
True to its form, the Indian Twitterverse exploded and everyone wanted a hit of whatever Doordarshan employees are smoking.
So, uh... DD sounds like a fun place to work.
Some honestly wanted to know who their dealer is.
WTF this DD news guy was smoking
Others would be happy with just one hit.
Can always count on DD to liven up your day"@nistula: I want to smoke what guys at @DDNewsLive are smoking! "
Some thought this mistake could result in positive political implications.
@RegaJha @rahulnanda86 BREAKING NEWS:SIKHS HAPPY AS MR. MODI IS NOW KNOW AS SANTA (SINGH). PARBHAT PHERI ORGANISED IN JALANDHAR.
Others just waited for some clarification before getting offended.
Hail the DD! rofl RT @rahulkanwal: Did @DDNewsLive actually tweet this? Who's the monkey in the jingle.
Some were scared for this intern's life.
Scared about the person who posted from the DD handle! Modi and his machinery might give him/her the final solution.
Others thought it was the only right thing to do.
Amit Bhai... These DD guys calling you monkey.. Encounter karwado is bande ka....
Doordarshan News has since tweeted this response but THAT FUCKING INTERN had to go mess that up as well.
DD News manages to make a typo even in their response to the bungled tweet.
And, after a long day of trial and error, they finally got it right:
An unrelated picture was inadverently placed by side of the China zoo story. We have removed the tweet
(We don't want you to "misinterpre news" so, disclaimer: DD didn't actually blame an intern – they actually graciously accepted their error and moved on. But where's the fun in that.)
Don't do drugs, kids.
