Why Twitter and Billboards Don't Mix

It sure sounds like a great idea to have live “tweets” from your television news station appearing on billboards across the city. But in reality it can cause some embarrassment.

A university student in Mobile, Alabama noticed this billboard from LOCAL15NEWS and couldn’t help but take a picture. Take a look at the headline, and then look at the picture to the left. Yes, those are the station anchors pictured on the ad.

Incidentally, both WPMI-TV’s general manager and news director were suspended over the incident.
