'C' word used in announcement eShot

Hela and HeartyDisaster hit soup restaurant chain Hale and Hearty last week when an eshot was sent out  to its customers with some quite surprising text.

Don't read on if you are easily offended.

The eshot announced the opening of a 'new' location and then added, "As an added bonus: Mary- you know the cxxt from 47th street- will serve you personally in any manner you choose. So cum one and all to our new location at 464 West Mount Pleasant Avenue, Livingston, NJ."

So how did this happen? Was it a disgruntled employee or placeholder copy that never got caught? No, it was a case of email hacking.

Apparently the passwords have now been changed so hopefully it won't happen again.
