Not Ideal – Crayola’s Facebook Page Got Hacked In A Non-Child Friendly Way

Crayola, the king of wax crayons, went into total meltdown on the weekend (hahahaha) when their Facebook page was hacked. Cue childhood innocence lost.

Remember when you were still in pre-school and you got these bad boys at the start of each term?

Sometimes, sometimes, the box would come with a built in sharpener. And then you could not even handle it. Truth be told I still enjoy rocking up at restaurants that use newspaper as tablecloths and give you a cup of wax crayons. Hell, yes, I will play O’s & X’s until you take my order and bring me my food.

So, whilst the wax crayons of Crayola bring nothing but good childhood memories, it seems the kids of today/their parents woke up to a racy Crayola Facebook page on the weekend.

Whilst those are still pretty tame, there was a bit of this also:

I mean, that last one is just pure charm.

The real Crayola peeps apologised profusely, and later regained control of their page.
