Porn Website Tweets Out Horrible MLK Day Message, Followed By Worse Apology
Posted by BJ Ragone
This is what we in the business call a major fail. Not only should a porn website not tweet about things other than what they do best – porn – but certainly should not try and make jokes about major historical figures.
PornHub, a popular porn site (I know because a friend told me), decided that it would be a really good idea to send out a tweet about Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Obviously, not the best idea. It was especially not a a good idea when the person who ran their twitter made it into an incredibly insensitive joke.
Happy MLK. In honor of his death, make sure to only use the Ebony category today.

The follow up apology tweet was even better.
Apology: MLK would have wanted everyone to watch the Interracial category today. #IHaveADream
