LG: Making fun of iPhone with an iPhone.

This happened around the time the iPhone 6 and 6+ came out. There was one question that troubled everyone. Could the iPhone 6+ bend? It was reported that the iPhone 6+ could bend if you're wearing tight pants???? Everyone practically attacked apple especially other Phone companies. LG partially tweets on twitter saying "Our phones don't bend, they're naturally curved :) #bendgate."(LG G Flex) That would have been funny but the ironic part about this is the person that posed it did it on an iPhone. This is definitely a blunder. Luckily there wasn't any effect on LG's side. Everyone thought this situation was just a funny blunder. Immediacy played a role in this because once LG French put that tweet out there it was a lot of comments. Like how can you mock Apple and their iPhone if you have an iPhone of your own. Permanence played role because well once LG French posted it it was permanently on the internet for the better or worse. I don’t think LG cared though it was just a small blunder right. Well not so much a lot of people said the same thing: If you’re going to post something about Apple and their iPhone's maybe don’t use an iPhone. Lack of control played a role a little bit. LG French knew what they were posting so they had control but what they didn't have control of was the people commenting about it. Thank you for reading this blog I hope you found this social media blunder interesting.
