3. Whoever thought this Facebook poll would be a good idea.

4. Whoever thought up this stimulating content for their Facebook fans.

The hobnob won by the way.
5. Whoever thought that doing a 'promoted tweet' campaign about immigration would be a good idea.

6. And the person who fact-checked this tweet.

7. This wasn't a good idea by the Home Office...

Because it was likely to offend quite a few people.
Good lord, that @ukhomeoffice feed requires a punch in the face.

Hey @ukhomeoffice why not make your tweet-a-long-a-stormtroop gallery of brown folk thrown in vans even more dystopian by using cattleprods?

Although it did lead to quite a few good parodies.

8. This tweet didn't go down well either.

GIVE US A RETWEET OR CHILDREN WILL GO HUNGRY,
It really didn't go down well.
@KelloggsUK sick bastards, if you have the capability to feed vulnerable children then do so. This is sickening.

9. Then there's the time that HMV had a meltdown.

10. An award goes to the person who thought of the Benadryl Social Pollen Count, which allowed users to mark on a map where they had sneezed.

Why? Well because a lot of people on social media got word of this and started to make their own maps. Like this one.

And this one.

11. British Gas announced that they were raising prices by 9.2%. A few days later they did this.

Their social media manager got ready.

But then it all went a little bit wrong.
Can't see this going horribly wrong! < @BritishGas: Customer Services Director Q&A about price rise at 1-2pm. Tweet questions to #AskBG

12. Remember when Sky News broke this story?

Colin then trended.

Some people got very confused by this incident.
Pretty sure coming back from lunch I walked through a portal into a parallel universe where you've all gone mental & can't stop saying Colin

But it wasn't a Syrian Cyber Attack or anything of the sort. This was the reason behind it.

13. Remember the horsemeat scandal, during which Tesco famously tweeted..?

Well this happened soon after.

14. But brands weren't the only failures. All of those on Twitter who confused EDF Energy with EDL, the far-right movement, should get some blame too.

15. So should all the people who constantly confuse @WHSmith with @WHSmithcouk with their complaints.

16. So should all of the people who keep mixing up @JohnLewis with @JohnLewisRetail.

<3 you John Lewis.
17. And then there are the people who constantly ask Radio 4 and similar stations to play commercial pop.


STOP. IT.
