To The Surprise of Everyone RadioShack's Twitter Was Not Hacked, They're Just a Crypto Company Now That Tweets Wild Things

Yesterday RadioShack came out of the clouds and started tweeting about squirting, drugs, and all other kind of non-electronic topics. Essentially the mind of a freshman in college was poured onto their account. 

Now the big question everyone had was, is RadioShack still a thing? Do Gen Z people even know what RadioShack is? Obviously this was just a random hacker job by some guy in his basement, no? 

Well, they did in fact go bankrupt multiples times in the last few years, but recently were bought by a company called Retail Ecommerce Ventures that specializes in bringing deceased companies back to life. They've gotten involved with failing stores such as Modell's and Pier 1 Imports so this kind of move made sense. 

Turns out now RadioShack has been revamped into a blockchain company and their social strategy is clearly shock value. They want people talking about RadioShack no matter what it takes. I think the last few days were mission accomplished. 

And there's the now deleted, "If you find a squirter marry her" as well. You can find Kate's blog on that tweet here.  

Last night the intern addressed the chaos.

Sure? The fact that they were trending yesterday tells you their plan worked, even if it was unorthodox. That being said, I don't see it turning into $$ via crypto. Feels like the whole world is collectively just out of the BTC/shit coin business at the moment. Can some crazy tweets really turn the tide? Doubtful.  

The one thing that I'm gonna pick out here is this tweet from earlier today.

The things that Twitter randomly decides are no bueno for the app are crazy. You can post full porn on Twitter. You've got terrorist organizations posting beheadings. You tweet a little about squirting and that puts you in jail? Can't even say "I'm gonna kill myself" after your favorite sports team loses in horrific fashion. Make it make sense.
