The Internet got wind of the Nokia ESPYS Pre-Party organizers' attempts to have athletes be hip on social media. The canned tweets, passed to athletes by a PR firm, presumably, were a great example of social media gone wrong. That wrong, however, has been made right, and the #NokiaPreParty hashtag now belongs to the masses, who've hijacked it and made it their own.
Twitter is great, you guys.
Here's a sampling of the amazing work.
