Lewd, Crude or Rude – Are These the Words You Want Describing Your Business?

PALM HARBOR, Fla. - April 15, 2014 - PRLog -- Monday’s US Airways social media fail was labelled as NSFW.  Not suitable for work!  So a corporation in a competitive market that either has a disgruntled employee or a devious competitor runs a high risk of losing considerable market share by having their online reputation damaged from sometimes just one negative posting.  US Airways inadvertently, according to their latest release, tweeted (https://twitter.com/) a pornographic picture of a naked woman.  Lewd, Crude, or Rude?  A huge attention getter, but at the same time what are the repercussions of a family friendly company posting porn?
