Weekend Wrap-up Feb. 3rd: Elmo’s Faux Pas
Elmo learned an important lesson in January: Don’t ask how someone is if you don’t really want to know the answer. If you are unaware of this news story, Elmo [spoiler alert: the person who runs the Elmo X account] tweeted “How is everyone doing today?” or something along these lines.
Well…
It received hundreds and thousands of replies, and not all of them bubble gum and roses. I’m sure the majority of them were from people who were just glad that someone was caring enough to ask the question, some might have needed the platform to vent, but a few probably took advantage of this seemingly harmless query.
“Lesson learned,” says the Elmo account manager who I suspect is on their fourth all-nighter likening or responding because you can’t ask a question like that and then just walk away.
I’ll leave you with the immortal words of Joey Tribbianni: “How you doin’?”
