    So someone who still had access to the verified HMV twitter account started to tweet that there was mass firing happening and if they were loosing thier job anyway they started tweeting about it.

    A Snr manager started demanding how to shut twitter down and well

    Seriously, how have managers not copped on to the fact that trying to silence stuff on social media is the one thing absolutely guaranteed to make it huge news?

    It's not down. It's just broken. So we can rule out DDoS

    Coincidence. HMV aren't that big. If their CEO rang the Twitter CEO asking them to "Shut down Twitter", I'm sure it would go on loudspeaker just so everyone in the office can have a good old laugh at him.

    You spend 10 years trying to figure out how to close down the internet and you finally figure it out after you go out of business. I hate when that happens.

    I hear they put the babies back in just so they can abort them again.

    And not only that, I have it from a good friend that they actually abort the babies while forcing the mothers to listen to Jedward.
