BWAHAHAHA! - J.P. Morgan's Q & A on Twitter backfires. Bigtime.

http://www.commondreams.org/further/2013/11/14-0

Ask J.P. Morgan: When Will You All Go To Jail?

Annals of Obliviousness: The brilliant minds at J.P. Morgan came up with the idea of a question-and-answer session on Twitter using the hashtag #AskJPM, evidently unaware that everybody hates them. Hilarity ensued. Some samples: "As a young sociopath, how can I succeed in finance?" "How can a company spend $100,000,000 per day on legal expenses and not be a criminal enterprise?" "Can I have my house back?" "Is it true that, while you don't always spit on poor people, when you do, you have perfect aim?" "Did you have a specific number of people's lives you needed to ruin before you considered your business model a success?" and "Where do babies come from?" After the insults started streaming in, JP Morgan "cancelled" the Twitter session, evidently unaware that you can't cancel Twitter. Good times.

10. Bloomberg: JPMorgan’s #AskJPM Twitter Hashtag Backfires Against Bank
Fri Nov 15, 2013, 02:48 PM
Nov 2013

JPMorgan Chase & Co., the target of at least eight Justice Department investigations, was mocked and taunted by Twitter users after asking followers to send questions to an executive using the hashtag #AskJPM.

The online forum, which the bank canceled late yesterday, was intended in part to give college students an opportunity to communicate directly with a senior executive, said Brian Marchiony, a spokesman for the New York-based company.

“#Badidea! Back to the drawing board,” the bank posted less than six hours after its original post, which drew more than 6,000 responses from users in that span, according to social media tracking service Topsy. The #AskJPM hashtag had more than 24,000 posts on Twitter as of 10 a.m. New York time, according to Topsy.

“If you’re in the banking industry with what’s happened over the last five years, it might not be a good idea to go out and solicit comments on social media,” said Brad Adgate, a senior vice president at marketing firm Horizon Media Inc. in New York. “They are paying all these fines and billions of dollars to the federal government. I question the timing of this".

you'd never know that by reading some of the things here - that Holder and Obama are in cahoots with the banksters all along...

they might have to pay a small portion of the money they stole from everybody!

These people need to be jailed and JP Morgan dissolved.

And it's not over til it's over.
I'm waiting, there is still time before Obama's term ends and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a 'we got bin laden' thingie coming up before he leaves office.

Contrary to you and many here, I believe that the President is doing his best to do what is right, considering all the traitors every where.

And I imagine they'll fire everybody on their social media team rather than bother looking more closely (and honestly) at the many available reasons why this hostility avalanche suffocated their nice folksy little Twitter outreach plan.

When can we start nationalizing them? (I think about that all the time regarding the koch brothers and koch industries. SO MUCH of it involving America's natural resources - which presumably belong to WE THE PEOPLE. We ARE still at war, after all. Why can't we at least bring it up?)

paying these CEO's to screw the pooch? They can't understand the basics of twitter. LOL. Dumbasses, and we've allowed them to grow bigger and even more dangerous to the world. It's really sad how these asses have any power or influence on our govt leaders; its no wonder they can't get anything done or do anything for The People, they really do live in a bubble.
