Now for the weather. Expect to be hot and bothered after you visit the link posted in a tweet by CBS affiliate WREG, which took users to a porn site, Pornhub, instead of the weather.
Inquistr explains:
The verified Twitter handle must have been manned by someone that was sniffing around on the x-rated porn site prior to tweeting about the interactive radar, if the link is evidence enough — and in our opinion it is.
After becoming aware of the embarrassing error, WREG tweeted:
Trending: University ‘decolonizes’ its curriculum by eliminating sonnets, ‘products of white western culture’
We apologize for a tweet that went out earlier this morning.

But the story doesn’t end there. As Inquisitr notes, the station attempted to write off the mistake as an instance of hacking and not the work of a clueless intern:
Have you you changed your passwords recently? Take it from us… Do it now. Also, resist public WiFi. For real… http://t.co/pqTNJFZveW — WREG News Channel 3 (@3onyourside) October 7, 2014
But viewers weren’t buying it:

@3onyourside come on. Owning it will go over 100000 times better than the “we were hacked” excuse.
