Electronics chain store “Best Buy” apologized Thursday for an attempted funny tweet about a murder case that nobody found funny.
Here was the tweet, since deleted by the company.
The tweet, was a poor attempt at a joke surrounding the murder case that popular podcast “Serial” depicts. The case follows the 1999 murder of high schooler Hae-Min Lee. The podcast, up to its 11th episode, follows the case, for which Lee’s ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, was convicted and imprisoned for her murder.
Syed’s guilt or innocence is the key point of the podcast’s story, with one of the main determinating factors being whether Adnan made a call from a pay phone in a Maryland parking lot after allegedly killing Lee.
