Admitting you like '2 Broke Girls' on Twitter can get you fired

2/8/2013

During the Super Bowl, CBS aired a promo for its sitcom "2 Broke Girls" depicting stars Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs pole-dancing in skimpy outfits. Phil Hardy liked the raunchy ad so much he tweeted "Me likey Broke Girls." Except he accidentally tweeted it to his boss's account instead of his personal one. And his boss was Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador. Oops. Even though Hardy deleted the tweet in a mere 14 seconds, he was still fired from his job as Labrador's spokesman, which he's held since 2010. Labrador's office apologized for the really-not-that-bad-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things tweet, but declined to specify exactly why it cost Hardy his job. [Source]
