Everybody's Chillin' At The Nokia Pre-Party (It's Awesome)

What happens when a PR agency sends out a form-tweet to athletes, asking them to promote their event? Pretty hilarious things. Everybody is chillin' at the ESPYS Nokia Pre-Party, you guys. And it's awesome.

There's the deleted tweet that started this whole thing:

Jackson dumped that tweet for pretty obvious reasons. But that didn't stop a few others from climbing aboard the pre-party express. These tweets look a bit dubious ...

"Chillin' at the @ESPYS #NokiaPreParty. It's awesome."

"Chillin' at the @ESPYS #NokiaPreParty. It's awesome."

Sizzle is ballin' so hard at the party and made the tweet his own:

" Chillen at the @ESPYS #NokiaPreParty. Gettin It In"

Notice the quotes before and after. At least Young and Spikes took out the request to tweet. But they still forgot to take the quotes off the tweet itself.

And Von Miller was a bit less obvious:

Hanging out at the @ESPYS #NokiaPreParty. Looking forward to my first ESPYS tomorrow.

Then we have Jackson's redemption:

ESPYs party 2night @ESPYS #NokiaPreParty

Mike Robinson went a similar route:

About to be chillin' at the @ESPYS #NokiaPreParty. It's gonna be official!

— Michael Robinson (@RealMikeRob) July 11, 2012

Whatever, let's just dump 'em all.

Hanging at the @espys #nokiapreparty. It's awesome.

This is social media #strat gone wrong. It's nice to package a tweet, but telling the athletes what to send word-for-word isn't really the way to go.
