Samsung sure has some genuinely witty social media editors handling its Twitter account.
As part of its Galaxy S8 promo efforts, the company took to Twitter to ask its followers to share the very first photos they’ve snapped with their new handset.

While many responded to the request and tweeted their first pics back at Samsung, one smartass decided to play it cool, taking this as an opportunity to troll the South Korean behemoth for easy retweets and likes – and possibly some new followers.
@SamsungMobileUS It was a dick pic

So in case you’re thinking about messing with Samsung on social media – just know one thing: You might get burned if you play with fire.
