The Internet not only doesn't forget, it will slap you around if you pretend it does. JPMorgan Chase, which has racked up more than $30 billion in fines and legal fees, announced a Twitter chat earlier this week—a Q&A with JPMorgan vice chairman Jimmy Lee.
Tomorrow at 1pm ET $JPM Vice Chairman Jimmy Lee takes over @JPMorgan to answer your questions for 1 hour. Tweet your Q early using #AskJPM

The response was immediate, vast and hysterical.
How much blood do your executives consume on a monthly basis? #AskJPM

Whenever I feel like a failure about an idea I came up with, I'll remember the #askjpm hashtag and feel better about myself.

Do you have a secret jail in your offices so your executives get at least one chance to see the inside of one? #AskJPM

#AskJPM Is it true that, while you don't always spit on poor people, when you do, you have perfect aim?

It's a touch reminiscent of last year's #McDStories debacle. McDonald's had started that hashtag with the hope that its followers would share nostalgic stories about Saturday-afternoon Happy Meals with their grandparents. Yeah, no.
These #McDStories never get old, kinda like a box of McDonald's 10 piece Chicken McNuggets left in the sun for a week.

JPMorgan has responded to the #AskJPM backlash with a simple, straightforward tweet that was just short of saying, "That Q&A? LOL, please disregard."
Tomorrow's Q&A is cancelled. Bad Idea. Back to the drawing board.
