Dave & Buster’s Just Posted a Tweet It’s Going to Regret for a Long Time How does this stuff get through?

And your massive brand Twitter fail of the day goes to … Dave & Buster’s!
 
To advertise its Taco Tuesday, the restaurant chain made a joke that pretty clearly went over the line, prompting incredulity from its Twitter followers. “I hate tacos, said no Juan ever,” the tweet read.
 
Obviously, this isn’t the first time a brand has tweeted out something outrageous—in this case, racist. But the question remains: How does this kind of stuff make it into the actual world?

And let’s not forget Dave & Buster’s promotion of its Taco Tuesday with the tweet:
 
‘I hate tacos’ said no Juan ever. #TacoTuesday #DaveandBusters’
 
The insensitive tweet incited complaints, and of course the company issued an apology for its perceived racist remark. What’s the lesson when it comes to humor and timing with social ownership? Never assume what you think is funny — actually is funny. And try to be mindful of seasonal, cultural, trending — and devastatingly tragic historic events.
