One thing Twitter is really good at is breaking news -- except for when the site is down.

Coincidentally, the other thing Twitter users love best is creating parody accounts of current events and other topical subjects.

So it should come to no surprise that today, when Twitter announced that a cascaded bug caused a major outage in the infrastructure, one user took advantage of the opportunity by creating a parody account.

We're not sure who is responsible for the @CascadedBug account, but it's provided a little bit of humor to an otherwise annoying work day for most of us.

UPDATE: The account has been suspended by Twitter. R.I.P., @CascadedBug.

Hey @Twitter, I'm not a bug, I'm a feature.— Cascaded Bug (@CascadedBug) June 21, 2012

I take many forms. Sometimes I look like this - goo.gl/3hEvp— Cascaded Bug (@CascadedBug) June 21, 2012
