‘Internet Gold’: Colorado Officer Explains Typo In Viral Tweet About Big Rock
"I expect to be the butt of many jokes for a while now," Susan Lilly said.
DENVER (CBS4) – It’s the boulder seen ‘round the world. The “large boulder the size of a small boulder” that has the internet rolling in laughter. Susan Lilly is the Public Information Officer for the San Miguel Sheriff’s Office. On Monday, she sent a tweet from the agency’s account to warn motorists of a hazard in the eastbound lane of Highway 145. What she meant to write was, “Large boulder the size of a small car” is blocking the road. Instead, what Lilly wrote reads, “Large boulder the size of a small boulder.” Before she had time to even think about deleting it, Twitter was rolling over the error.
“I took a look and I said, ‘Uh oh. I made a mistake there,’” Lilly told CBS4’s Kelly Werthmann in a FaceTime interview. “Then I saw the numbers just going and going and going.”
