Crayola’s Facebook page got hacked Sunday, which had the potential to be a major PR disaster for the crayon manufacturer. Just think of all the offensive and explicit content one could post if they got their hands on the keys to the social media for a wholesome family-geared company!
Well, thankfully it only turned out to be a medium-sized PR disaster because whoever hacked into Crayola’s Facebook page has the sense of humor of a twelve-year-old, posting a bunch of crude memes about boobs and sex. Here’s a sampling:
Uh, yeah. That could have been so much worse. With all that power at their hands, whoever hacked Crayola’s Facebook page didn’t even have it in them to use the risque spelling of “boobs” that doesn’t involve swapping out two zeros. Still, Crayola had their obligatory feathers up in a ruffle about it, tweeting about the breach:
We're aware of the situation on our official FB page, which was hacked today, and making every effort to stop the unauthorized posts.

We don't condone the inappropriate & offensive content being posted to the fraudulent Crayola FB page & sincerely apologize to our fans.

GET IT TOGETHER, CRAYOLA. You made it out mostly unscathed this time, but next time there could be butts. BUTTS! Think of the children, for god’s sake.
