Chrysler is in damage-control mode after its official Twitter account chirped, “I find it ironic that Detroit is known as the #motorcity and yet no one here knows how to f****** drive.” Yeeks, that’s gonna backfire. Screenshot of NSFW language inside.

The car maker deleted the message and tweeted, “Our apologies – our account was compromised earlier today. We are taking steps to resolve it.” Later on their blog they blamed it an employee at their social media agency who has now been fired.

Annnnnd that’s why you don’t put your work account on your smartphone, social media marketer minions. You might accidentally say something meant for your personal twitter account and have it go out on your client’s feed.
