Crayola's social media hit a major snag over the weekend…

The company's Facebook page was hacked on Sunday and all throughout the day, posts were shared that were, um, definitely not on brand.

Below are some examples of the posts that were shown on Crayola's page yesterday, however, most of them were NSFW so Google at your own discretion.

Posts sharing click-bait to R-rated websites were published over a period of several hours, causing the fairly family-friendly company to go on full-blown damage control.

"We're aware of the situation on our official FB page, which was hacked today, and making every effort to stop the unauthorized posts," Crayola wrote on their Twitter page shortly after the first jacked post went live.

They added, "We don't condone the inappropriate & offensive content being posted to the fraudulent Crayola FB page & sincerely apologize to our fans."

Then late last night after the matter had appeared to be under control,  they updated their Facebook with the following message:

"Our sincere apologies to our Facebook community for the inappropriate and offensive posts you may have seen here today. Please be assured the official Crayola page has been restored. We can't thank our fans enough for the feedback and support we received while working to resolve the issue…you truly are the best and we look forward to an exciting and creative 2015!"
