Oops.
Memphis-based news station WREG News Channel 3 tweeted a Pornhub link to their nearly 29,000 followers early Tuesday morning. Though the station quickly deleted the tweet, a few users managed to take screenshots first.

Either a rockbone front is on the way to the Memphis area, or somebody messed up bigtime. Either way, take cover.

WREG responded with an obligatory apology tweet.
We apologize for a tweet that went out earlier this morning.

...And then went on to claim that the tweet was a result of a public Wi-Fi hacking.
Have you you changed your passwords recently? Take it from us... Do it now. Also, resist public WiFi. For real... http://t.co/pqTNJFZveW

Damn those hackers and their ceaseless attempts to share porn links with weather enthusiasts.
Pornhub's social team found out about the mistake and tried to create a dialogue with WREG.
Hey @3onyourside I hear you're a http://t.co/hz9DZSEbL8 fan!

WREG has since sent out a call to donate to a charity group, apparently embracing its mistake.
Since we have your attention today... Consider clicking this link and doing some good :) http://t.co/QEK9X3vXAn

It's okay, WREG. Walk it off. You'll go get 'em tomorrow.
