Poor old Walkers.

Will social media advertisers never learn?

You have to see the funny side of it, I suppose.

Plus they'll get a ton of free extra publicity out of it.

PS....what is "Twitter"???

Twitter isn't for you. It's a play ground for those who like to upset others.

it's not the first time something like this has backfired.

A mate of mine was at an award for best Brummie business man and you could tweet your best wishes to candidates if you used a certain hashtag. So we all went to town. Those tweets were shown live on a massive screen in front of the entire audience.

Years ago we went to an away game. I was driving. Russ's mum did him a packed lunch (he was in his 20s). Russ did the decent thing and shared it. Ever since we've told him his mum has the best baps. Childish but it's a in-joke we share.

So I tweeted "Russ Hill's mum has the best baps in Brum" Stuart's was "Russ's mum loves lads biting her baps" and so on.

Although he won, everyone kept asking him about his mum's baps :D

He wasn't very impressed.
