Man accidentally publishes personal post on work Facebook account

<p>A man has accidentally put a personal post on his work social media account and in doing so inadvertently became the world’s latest internet sensation.</p> <p>NPR, a public broadcaster in the US, quickly spotted the mistake which you can see below, but not before it had spread to the organisation’s six million followers.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr">Npr just oopsie posted the cutest thing ever.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Ramona?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Ramona</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NPR?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NPR</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BestMistakePostEver?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BestMistakePostEver</a> <a href="https://t.co/PpgyPeUY82">pic.twitter.com/PpgyPeUY82</a></p> — Lally (@Lallypage) <a href="https://twitter.com/Lallypage/status/915037385477492736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 3, 2017</a></blockquote> <p>The post read: “Ramona is given a new toy: Smiles, examines for 20 seconds, discards. Ramona gets a hug: Acquiesces momentarily, squirms to be put down.</p> <p>“Ramona sees three cats 30 feet away: Immediately possessed by shrieking, spasmodic joy that continues after cats flee for their lives”</p> <p>NPR quickly deleted the contextually confusing update and apologised for the mistake, but fans of the media organisation weren’t mad at all. In fact, they loved it.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr">You are so adorable <a href="https://twitter.com/NPR?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NPR</a>. This seriously gave me the best lol today, which I needed. Please don’t fire Ramona’s human. <a href="https://t.co/8G2xPNoJrw">pic.twitter.com/8G2xPNoJrw</a></p> — Rocktober dreamer (@hurryhurryomaha) <a href="https://twitter.com/hurryhurryomaha/status/915038722768302080?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 3, 2017</a></blockquote> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr">This is so <a href="https://twitter.com/NPR?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NPR</a>.
