Memphis TV Station’s Twitter Account Posts PornHub Link Instead of Radar

October 7, 2014

Um, that’s not snow covering most of the country’s midsection.

According to Gawker, somebody affiliated with the WREG News Channel 3 in Memphis is in hot water after accidentally posting a link to PornHub instead of the weather radar.

Instead of sending people to its interactive weather radar to track the rain and storms, the link sent people to a PornHub account run by a guy who goes by the name of “rockboner.” It doesn’t take an Ivy League degree to guess what you’ll find there, but let’s just say that you’ll have a better chance of seeing the remnants of a foreskin than an extended ten-day forecast.

The station’s Twitter handle, which is ironically @3onyourside, has since issued an apology and posted this link in an effort to raise money for various charities:

Since we have your attention today… Consider clicking this link and doing some good 🙂 http://t.co/QEK9X3vXAn

Basically, whether you’re visiting WREG’s Twitter account today to get a serious look at the Memphis area weather or accidentally clicking on a link for rockboner’s uploaded videos while you’re there, it’s going to be a stormy adventure.
