Twitter Suspends New York Times Parody Account [Update]
Apparently the execs at The New York Times do not have a sense of humor. The paper complained to Twitter about a parody account, called @NYTOnIt, which posted many ridiculous and obviously stupid trend stories published by the Times. The account is now suspended. A sample tweet from NYTOnIt was “Guys, boys want muscles and the Times is ON IT.”
According to Poynter, the paper said that the account’s use of the Times “T” is a violation of its trademark.
