The Crayola Facebook Page Was Hacked, And The Results Were Disturbing And Hilarious
According to AdWeek, on Sunday the official Crayola Facebook page started posting links to R-rated content and some raunchy but still Facebook-safe pictures of cartoons in suggestive situations, like this:

Crayola eventually got its page back and engaged in some good old-fashioned corporate groveling to apologize to its fans.
“Our sincere apologies to our Facebook community for the inappropriate and offensive posts you may have seen here today. Please be assured the official Crayola page has been restored. We can’t thank our fans enough for the feedback and support we received while working to resolve the issue ”¦ you truly are the best and we look forward to an exciting and creative 2015!”
Most of the commenters on the Crayola Facebook page seemed pretty chill about the whole experience, though. Several commented that they knew it wasn’t Crayola posting cartoon porn, but they thought some of the cartoons were pretty funny. Small children aren’t supposed to be on Facebook anyway, so it was safe all around.
