Today's weather, according to the CBS affiliate from Memphis? Sunny with a chance of boners.
(Finally! Our lifelong dream to write "sunny with a chance of boners" has come true! We can retire now. Goodbye, everyone!)
But first…
News channel WREG posted a tweet Tuesday morning reminding viewers to "use our interactive radar to track the rain and storms," with a link that did not go to their interactive radar at all. Nope, it sent twitter users right to a Pornhub.com. Specifically, it was a link to a Pornhub account under the name Rockbone, possible full name Rockboner. It has to be Rockboner and not just Rockbone, right?
The tweet has since been deleted, and WREG apologized for the offending link:
We apologize for a tweet that went out earlier this morning.

Based on their follow-up tweet, they seem to be blaming a hacker for the incident:
Have you you changed your passwords recently? Take it from us... Do it now. Also, resist public WiFi. For real...

And they're also taking advantage of this story making national headlines by posting a link to a list of charities and urging people to consider donating. This time the link goes to where it should, and not to Rockbone(r):
Since we have your attention today...
Consider clicking this link and doing some good :)

And that's pretty awesome. However, the damage had been done. And by "damage," we mean Twitter did what it does best and started rolling out the puns and jokes using the hashtag #rockbone:
@kjmeow we once got hit with a category 3 rockbone. the clean-up is a nightmare

There was only one single line of prints in the sand, because #rockbone was carrying me.

Maybe #RockBone was just introducing us to @3onyourside's new "Fappler Radar".

And apparently there's already a T-shirt:

And (siiiiigh) of course, there's now a Twitter account for Rockbone up and running:
Here I am #Rockbone you like a Hurricane!

Oh, and Pornhub definitely knows about what happened and has been having a field day with the mistake:
Hey @3onyourside I hear you're a http://t.co/hz9DZSEbL8 fan!

I wonder what @3onyourside is searching for? #Rockbone pic.twitter.com/fgdEcMuudL
