It appears the team monitoring Delta’s Facebook page took a long lunch today. Either that or they didn’t particularly care that the above image sat atop their company page for 40 minutes.
I have blurred it out because we here at the office were unable to come to a definitive consensus on what those things are. Some say hagfish. Some say organic carrots. Others insist those are, in fact, cut-off penises. You can see the undoctored picture here if you’re keen on looking at stuff that resembles — or is — male genitalia.
What’s truly remarkable is just how long it took to address the situation. We sat here as 20 minutes passed. Then a half hour. Then around the 40-minute mark, Delta came out with this statement:
The @Delta Facebook page was compromised. We sincerely apologize for the unauthorized, objectionable content that was posted.

But no sooner did they do that than this appeared.
Jesus. Delta’s social media team is really in the weeds this afternoon. There’s going to be so many post-work beers.
And hopefully a few changed passwords.
