Now, sometimes, just sometimes, something incredible happens that makes you just shake your head as you look at the screen and have a chuckle to yourself.
That happened to me, as I clapped eyes on a tweet sent out by Virgin Australia, to Kanye West.
The tweet was in response to one Kanye sent out, telling Pitchfork.com that his album is actually a “30 out of 10.”
Virgin Australia, or seemingly, someone who hacked their account, then proceeded to tell Kanye West to “eat a d***, you douche.”
Hilarious.A @VirginAustralia worker or… someone has gone cray! #virginaustralia #KanyeWest https://t.co/hKTWu6ajEt pic.twitter.com/IlUgWVgo05

WOW.
So, obviously someone would be fired for that, right?

I mean, that little blue verification tick is just staring Kanye in the face, so obviously he’s not far from getting his rant on at the airline – but Virgin Australia have swiftly come forward to clear that air.
Since deleting the tweet, Virgin Australia has said the post wasn’t created by an employee and they’re looking into the matter.
A recent tweet on our account was not published by a Virgin Australia employee and we are investigating the matter.

They’ve apologised for any offence it might have caused… but we think there’s a good explanation for the slip-up.
2/2 We apologise for any offence caused.

As a KIIS employee, we handle multiple accounts and know how EASY it would be for someone to post from a work account, when it was meant to be their own personal account – and more likely than not, that’s exactly what happened here.
Either way, many people have been tweeting Virgin Australia, telling them that they need not apologise, as the tweet was ‘hilarious’.
@VirginAustralia you just made @kanyewest famous! He is obligated to sleep with you now. #ohkanye

@VirginAustralia I’m only offended that you would apologize for something everyone wants to say!

All publicity is good publicity, right?!
