Meg Whitman Campaign Shows How Not To Use Twitter
tsamsoniw writes "California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's campaign team attempted to share with her Twitter followers an endorsement from a police association. Unfortunately, the campaign press secretary entered an incorrect or incomplete Bit.ly URL in the Tweet, which took clickers to a YouTube video featuring a bespectacled, long-haired Japanese man in a tutu and leggings rocking out on a bass guitar. And for whatever reason, the Tweet, which went out on the 18th, has remained active through today."
Awesome guitaring...
Sorry, what were we discussing?
"Whitrolled? That's not a meme!"
"It is now."
What a difference a character can make.
While a really talented cross-dressing Japanese 8-string bass player is a pretty good result, it could have been much, much worse.

Looks more like an endorsement for proposition 19.
I want what he's smoking!
Could it be that former eBay CEO Meg Whitman is computer illiterate?
Yes, because she of course typed in the url. And was responsible for QA, and for fixing any problems that show up.
She does all her own technical and scut work. Yesterday, she got her own coffee and collated those new defamatory fliers. Tomorrow she's going to run the cabling under the server room floor in her campaign headquarters.
Don't take it personally, but I'm not going to read your pithy response to my post.
What a difference a character can make.
Especially when that character is wearing a tutu!
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure everything I just said is completely wrong.
How about sMegged instead? ;p
... word for word:
I want to thank fairy bassist, Meg Whitman and the rest of the whole fucking internet for making my day over 9000 times more awesome. I'd also like to thank Japan for mastering how to take some regular ass shit and make it bizarre. also 8 string bass ftw!
Knowing politicians, she'll probably sue the bass player and send out DMCA takedown over it.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Is that a Hobson's choice or what? The good news is that he's no longer governor. The bad news is that he'll make another movie.
The only celebrity ex-governor who went out with class was Jesse "the Body" Ventura.
You are welcome on my lawn.
