Washington Post’s ‘F**k It’ March Madness Pick (Photo)

Basketball fever is sweeping across the United States. Even President Obama has filled out a bracket for the National Collegiate Athletic Association, making his predictions about which college teams will make it through the Final Four.

This enthusiastic post went out over the newspaper’s Facebook page. While it may appear a little brazen, a little coarse, for a major American news organization, it’s likely that one distracted social media employee became blinded by sports madness and confused the Post’s Facebook account with his own.

But hey, UC Irvine: apparently 92 readers agree.

It just goes to show: don’t compete before you tweet, and don’t get too engrossed before you post.
