In the vein of Condescending Corporate Brand Page, someone has created a fake Burlington Coat Factory Twitter account that provides trenchant satire about social media marketing.

The @BurlCoatFactory account, which had around 5,000 followers at this writing, could pass for a real corporate Twitter account -- in fact, Burlington Coat Factory mistakenly linked to the account from its website recently.
