Twitter Mocks Mets With Mr. Met Themed "Fail Whale" Graphic

Twitter, one of the biggest social networking sites on the web, decided to take a not so subtle jab at the New York Mets last night using their "fail whale" graphic.  For those of you unfamiliar with the fail whale, when Twitter gets overloaded the site displays a graphic featuring a whale being carried by birds.  Fans of the site have dubbed this the "fail whale". 

Last night, however, the site decided that the whale was not an appropriate enough symbol of failure so last night, when Twitter was over capacity, users were treated to this graphic:

Et tu Twitter?

Twitter has since gone back to their regular graphic and denies ever using this but The Apple knows the truth.

All articles featured on The Apple are fictitious. No Mets were harmed in the writing of this story. Like the Mr. Met Fail Whale? Wallpaper is available by clicking here.
