A random Twitter account was given a gold tick worth $1,000 a month just by changing its handle to 'DisneyJuniorUK'
The account renamed itself to 'DisneyJuniorUK', a TV channel for young children, and was subsequently awarded the verification that usually costs $1,000 per month.Followed up by: "This isn't actually real right. Someone f*****g pinch me or something."
One tweet from the account suggested that 'DisneyJuniorUK' would be introducing the adult comedy, South Park, to the channel. Although the account has now been suspended, Twitter users enjoyed the brief mistake, poking fun at how leniently ticks appear to be awarded to Twitter users under the new system.
After Twitter dropped the "legacy ticks" last week, the Tesla founder announced he was personally paying to keep some celebrities' blue ticks, including Stephen King and LeBron James.
