Bill Cosby Needs New People as the #CosbyMeme Backfires

Updated Wed., Nov. 11, 8:35 a.m. EST: As of late last night, Cosby’s original tweet and the meme generator have been deleted.

Earlier:

Do Bill Cosby and his people not know how the Internet works? Are they unaware how #blacktwitter works? Were they not around when #AskRKelly backfired? This evening the Cos posted a tweet telling people he can now be turned into a meme via his website.

How do you spell “bad idea”?

Sure enough, when you put out a call on social media, the Internet answers, oh so eloquently.

Cosby, who has recently been reliving rape allegations from the 1980s and ’90s, got the black Twitter treatment. Let’s just say the memes are probably not what he or his team expected.

Something tells me there’s a job opening on Bill Cosby’s social media team. Fail of the year.
