U.S. Airways Calls Infamous X-Rated Tweet 'an Honest Mistake'

We finally have an official explanation for the tweet that broke the Internet yesterday via the New York Daily News.

No, the person who clicked the “tweet” button has not been fired–because he didn’t accidentally reveal his browsing history or share a particularly disgusting in-house joke.

It was simply the most successful act of Twitter trolling in recent memory.

Turns out that the offending image was posted by a third party with a fifteen-year-old’s sense of humor on the brand’s Twitter connections feed.
