To your memory what are some of the funniest and best unforced errors or gaffes made by corporations in trying to promote their product?

Or what's the funniest mistake you've seen an individual restaurant or restaurant worker do?

I personally love the booboo that Digorino Pizza made when they used the hashtag #WhyIstayed not knowing that it was about domestic violence.

Do you have a screen cap or a meme to commemorate the occasion?

The sad part is how people overreact to simple mistakes or misunderstandings. I read some of the tweets directed at the frozen pizza magnate and a lot of them were blessing them out like the apology wasn't good enough. Some people were getting real self-righteous about out. I'm like anon, you're misdirecting your anger and energy by taking your shit out on the pizza people.

the outrage machine never fails to lower the bar.

Well technically wasn't Pepe originally a much more benign and innocent cartoon character before he was appropriated by the red-pilled alt-right?

At that time the image was still most popular at 4chan, which was then known more for pedophilia and gore than for any political view.
