Title: Twitter Genius or Twitter Fail?

Pretty sure everyone has seen this by now, but if not:

Arse faced warbler Susan Boyle has a new album out. Her record company celebrated this with the  hashtag  #susanalbumparty . Whether they meant to celebrate "susan album party" or "Su's anal bum party" is not clear, but everyone has now certainly heard that there is an album out.

This made me laugh way too much.  I'd say it was a fail because I'd imagine her target market wouldn't find this funny or even be using twitter, although perhaps they are targeting gift buyers.

exactly. That's not a tag you'd chose unless you got the joke. Perhaps management didn't get the joke, but someone did.

Had a customer inquiry a while back from The Rapist - therapist@hotmail.com

Almost deleted it without replying until I realized there was another way to parse it.
