Nordstrom denies liking ‘Dick’ DS tweet
Now that every brand is also a publisher, we can cock a glance at the twitter account of Nordstrom. Who they? Well, according to the company’s website, they are visionaries with “an incredible eye for what’s next in fashion”, possessed of a “passionate drive to exceed expectations”. They’ve been in business for around 100 years. And they’ve now confirmed that they did NOT “like” a tweet that said the “DS” in the computer game system “Nintendo DS” stood for “Dick Suck.”
“The DS in Nintendo DS stands for Dick Suck,” said Nick Wiger. “The idea was, playing it was as fun as gettin your dick sucked. 3DS, as fun as 3 dick sucks.”
That was followed by someone operating under the name ‘KatieMetzi’, who offered: “Um, this appeared in my feed because @Nordstrom liked it?”
“Sorry for the confusion, Katie,” Nordstrom fired back. “We can confirm we have not liked this tweet.”
Um, this appeared in my feed because @Nordstrom liked it? 🤨 #nordstrom #fail

These are heady times for big brands on twitter, where reputations can can trashed in a trice. Why do they bother?
