So, the folks at Amy's Baking Company have chosen to go the honorable 
route following the social media meltdown [1] that took place yesterday 
on the company's Twitter, Facebook and Yelp accounts: they've blamed it 
all on hackers [2].

Sorry, did I say "honorable"? I meant to say that they offered the 
lamest excuse possible; one taken by numerous athletes, celebrities and 
general fools who have gone on ill-advised rampages against friends and 
haters alike.

And honestly, I might be inclined to believe the folks at Amy's, were it 
not for the documented-by-video-camera freakouts in which they fired an 
employee for asking a question ("she had an attitude," owner Amy 
Bouzaglo claimed/shouted)[3].
