Brands and corporations around the world have embraced social media as a tool to communicate directly with their current and potential customers, but the public hasn’t always embraced them back. There are lots of reasons why a brand’s social media communications might fail, but when they do, accounts like Brands Owned on Twitter are always there to take pictures and appreciate the damage.

Some of these burns might be cheap shots or just innocent witty banter, but in some cases, internet commentators take the opportunity to highlight very real issues with these brands’ and corporations’ operations.

    I do love seeing this one again and again on BP... there are no official government or council-level rules on parent and child parking in the same way you’d get for disabled parking spaces. Parking in a supermarket car park is managed and enforced by the supermarket itself, or by a private parking management company. That means it’s not illegal to park in a parent and child space without a child. But you could get a Parking Charge Notice (PCN), the same as you would if you overstayed in a car park. Who knows why they parked there - car park could have been full when they arrived in an emergency or they could be totoal kn0bheads...

    This might sound weird from someone who is white af, but I am SO happy to see Asian representation in Hollywood finally. A24 does fabulous work, and I'm so glad that Everything Everywhere All at Once took Best Picture in this year's Oscars and that Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Daniel Kwan also took Best in their respective categories. (I'm not a huge fan of the Oscars, I'm kind of against them, but still am happy to finally see Asian actors/directors get the acknowledgement they deserve!) Simu Liu is a great actor and Shang-Chi is a pretty entertaining movie, even if you don't like superhero films!

    I might sound ignorant asking this, but how does making a bunch of logos rainbow-coloured and posting pictures of products with rainbows actually help people in the LGBTQ+ community? The standard response is it raises awareness, but does anyone think this actually helps change anything? Genuinely curious, I see it as an opportunity for companies to get some good PR, but i’m not a member of the community and i don’t know if I should have an opinion on this or not! I should have asked this in the “ask” post the other day
