Corporate Facebook pages and Twitter accounts can be interesting to follow. Some of them share useful information, others keep you up to date on various promotions and news.
But some are almost offensive in the way they interact with the public
Guinness Ireland’s Facebook page, for example, posted this update before the weekend:
Yes, it is a pint of Guinness, or if you subscribe to Magritte’s view of the world, it’s a photograph of a pint of Guinness.
How can you ask people to agree or disagree with the statement?
What’s even nuttier is that over 8 thousand people “liked” the post and over 500 “shared” it via Facebook.
I guess this one is another obvious candidate for the “Condescending Corporate Brand Page“…
It’s like the Chewbacca defense but for advertising.

Unbelievable. Why didn’t they put in a kitten with a Guinness tache – probably would have gotten 16,000 likes. Like chasing will lead to this.
