This post is about how CBC NORTH IS THE AWESOMEST.

Okay, that may be a bit over the top, but it is the way I felt a few days ago.

This time last week, I was pretty annoyed with CBC North, especially @CBCNorth, their Twitter personality.

Last week, if you were following @CBCNorth, you were receiving a continuous stream of re-tweets, or, if you’re less generous, spam:

And sometimes:

6 more H1N1 hospitalizations in N.W.T. http://bit.ly/2A8qUS
6 more H1N1 hospitalizations in N.W.T. http://url4.eu/jJpH

You’re annoyed, right? You want to stop reading my blog right now, don’t you? I mean, you felt that way before you got here, but now you feel that way even MORE, right? Yeah, that’s how we all felt last week. So I decided to start spamming them back. I get a lot of spam, so it wasn’t hard.

Me: @CBCNorth Re: pepper spray. You are receiving this because you requested information about how to enlarge your penis.

And then…it stopped. Yes. Thank goodness.

I’m not convinced that they are monitoring their replies, but at least they’ve stopped spamming us. As a next step, I would like to encourage them to keep an eye on what people say to them on Twitter. That way, they could make sure this doesn’t happen again.

Thanks, @CBCNorth. We all appreciate it. I guess I’ll just have to delete all of this spam mail now.
