The Philadelphia Flyers PR Staff Is Quite Gullible

At 12:44 today, Down Goes Brown tweeted the following: "Let's make our own entertainment. At 12:50, everyone tweet @JLupul at the same time with some variation of "Good luck in Long Island!"

What followed was quite possibly the prank of the day. Not only did some beat writers, real and fake, report it as real on Twitter, but the Philadelphia Flyers PR staff got duped by hundreds of people wishing Joffrey Lupul "good luck in Long Island!"


"Joffrey Lupul is on the move and heading to his third team this season and sixth overall in his career.  He is reportedly heading to the New York Islanders.  Further details to come..."

The Flyers quickly took that down from their site, but it does not make it any less funny. I just hope they at least made this mistake while sober.

If you are not reading Down Goes Brown and following him on Twitter @DownGoesBrown, you are missing out on a great number of laughs, especially if you are a hockey fan.
