Jesus H, that really happened! I'd guess a bot of some kind auto-generated the tweet.

Yep. And I bet the filtering software wasn't looking for that word in the middle of other characters that weren't spaces. That extra 'S' paid off.

You would think the software could pick up any string of characters that spells out "nigger" or any variation. How many other words you could one possibly be attempting to spell after "nigg-"

You would think. Though its possible there is no filtering software, just young Caleb the intern who got a little bleary-eyed after 900,000.

Barely related, Florida State fans find a fun way to protest a NYTimes story on one of their players extra-curricular activities.

Why even automate this? Unless it sent one to every twitter follower, I guess. If it was just the 1,000,000th follower, it seems like they could have just done it by hand. It would have taken me 2 minutes to do that in Gimp.
