Icon33 Habs Racist Tweet
Looks like the Habs learned nothing from the Patriots. Assuming it was an accident, but mistakenly tweeted this. Only posting the link to the image as it contains racial slurs. They tweeted this account multiple times. Seems to be a 1Million followers promotion.

Seems like some sort of auto reply thing gone wrong.

Yup they obviously didn't implement an inappropriate word filter in their auto-reply script. Should be common sense. I mean with over a million followers on twitter they must get inappropriate messages sent to them all the time.

Why would anyone think that is acceptable?

Holy crap the account is just shooting out replies to all sorts of account. Some are funny, like "F*** the Habs" or "Fire Terrien." Others like the racist stuff is pretty bad. Yikes

Wonder if they got hacked because no one would be stupid enough to actually post that.
