Well seeing how this account was created just to post this, it continues.

[–]DarnTheseSocks 0 points1 point ago

What? This is clearly a spammer and I'm all for getting out the pitchforks, but on what basis do you claim it's connected to the Romney campaign?!?

[–]BlueOak777 0 points1 point ago

I highly....so highly....doubt it has ANYTHING to do with the Romney campaign because no matter what info you put into their calculator/graph thing (their entire site basically) it's all extremely pro Obama. The numbers are heavily skewed to the left ($x,xxx's). It even goes to the point of showing a blue and red map of where each candidate would help the most, with the entire map (outside of a handful of counties) is entirely blue (being Obama).

It's clearly some sort of pro-Obama social campaign group trying to get free social traffic by lying and faking things.

LEAVE APPLE MAPS ALONE!

Sent using my iPhone 5 in Narnia

[–]SolemnPutty 5 points6 points ago

There was a similarly fake tweet posted yesterday and under an almost identical title also by an account that was made that day, please don't encourage this.

[–]Sexy_Rhino 17 points18 points ago

I am new around here so I am probably wrong, but the rules don't say not to post fake tweets. I know it takes a little away but I did think it was funny.

[–]blueboybob 15 points16 points ago

what about spam?

politfy is spamming their site. This is the same site where the "student" didnt get into an honors course and emailed the teacher after making it.

[–]LeoPanthera 37 points38 points ago

It's fake. That tweet doesn't exist.

[–]origamiguy 56 points57 points ago

Actually, it does. https://twitter.com/GoogIeMaps/status/252532691386396672

The point is, it's GoogIeMaps, not GoogleMaps. It's a parody account.

[–]Tagid 19 points20 points ago

Hey guys don't worry. It can't be funny because its fake. Nothing to see here.

[–]isofat 9 points10 points ago

It's not that it is fake, but this Politify spam has been all over reddit. Some idiot is spamming her blog/twitter crap.

[–]LeoPanthera 14 points15 points ago

I didn't say it wasn't funny.

[–]SolemnPutty 22 points23 points ago

I'm willing to say it wasn't very funny because it's humour relied on it having actually happened, which it didn't.

[–]pooterpon -1 points0 points ago

He didn't say that.

But personally, it's funny if Google really did tweeted it. That's why it's funny. The words alone mean nothing.

[–]blueboybob 3 points4 points ago

It is because politfy is spamming their site. This is the same site where the "student" didnt get into an honors course and emailed the teacher after making it.

[–]rusty735 26 points27 points ago

Please dont upvote this shit, there have been multiple fake "politify" screen shots posted on reddit recently.

[–]Dinant 15 points16 points ago

I don't know why you are being downvoted. You're absolutely right. I'ts funny and all, but the politify spam needs to stop.

[–]irontuskk 5 points6 points ago

I think he's being downvoted by Politify accounts.

[–]TropicalAmerican -5 points-4 points ago

If its funny...why?

[–]dru1138 0 points1 point ago

I'm here to laugh. Who gives a shit what the source of my laughter is?

[–]TropicalAmerican 0 points1 point ago

Apparently them :(

[–]Dinant 0 points1 point ago

Because its fake. They intentionally chose to tell the joke in such a manner that they promote their site doing so. It's like it's a funny commercial, and I'm not on reddit to watch commercials.

[–]sleepy55 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, it's getting old really quickly. The whole thing is a set up for this spam Twitter account to get followers.

[–]evergreenterace 0 points1 point ago

Isn't this r/funny, not r/idealism?

[–]Khao8 5 points6 points ago

the politify account is fucking spam.

[–]uncommitted 4 points5 points ago

Yet another new account with Politify SPAM.

[–]DangerPanda 2 points3 points ago

Oh shit it's this douche bag again... Can't they just go away?

[–]apwessen 2 points3 points ago

On par with the average American.

[–]TraverseTown 4 points5 points ago

Iraq's political influence is growing.

[–]dru1138 2 points3 points ago

soon they will be bigger than urop

[–]PurpleSfinx 1 point2 points ago

Can you imagine the shitstorm if Apple said this about one of Google's products?

[–]helium_farts 2 points3 points ago

Why the sudden influx of fake @Politify tweets?

[–]Cynikal818 -1 points0 points ago

...it sucks that she literally has grown up in a world where you have to know where Iraq is. I'm not saying shit except, when I was 5-8 I had no fucking clue what Iraq was.

[–]craigsterino 1 point2 points ago

Miss Teen South Carolina finally found "the Iraq."

[–]atizzy 1 point2 points ago

I think the problem is that most US Americans, don't have maps

[–]craigsterino 2 points3 points ago

As in such as.

[–]DarnTheseSocks 0 points1 point ago

Stop fucking upvoting this Politify spam shit.

[–]UltimateHipster 0 points1 point ago

Why is it so hard for reddit to come up with titles that aren't as retarded as this one?

You might as well have said: "Gem Level: Apple maps" or some stupid shit like that.

[–]Fleener 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only person not having trouble with the maps on the iPhone 5? I was able to use the turn by turn navigation and it worked perfectly and everything looked good.

Maybe my town is too small to have bad maps :(

[–]SometimesY 0 points1 point ago

I'm going to start reporting Politify posts like this one as spam. This is god damn ridiculous. And to make it worse, one of their other posts on /r/funny had nearly this exact same punchline. Way to be original, asshats.

[–]rotato 0 points1 point ago

What is that? Arctica for ants?

[–]BlueOak777 0 points1 point ago

politify.com has officially ruined their name on the interwebs. Grats douchebags, hope your shitty spam posts were worth it.

[–]dropdatabase 0 points1 point ago

I hate you for making that title for this post.

kill yourself.

[–]TropicalAmerican 2 points3 points ago

Wild guess- no friends?
