If any brand is less deserving of an adult-themed paint job, it's Crayola.
Yes, the crayon company is synonymous with childlike innocence. But it was anything but on Sunday, when its Facebook page was hacked by unknown deviants. Once inside the brand's account, the perpetrators shared click-baity links to R-rated sites throughout the day, sending poor Crayola into a panic.
We're aware of the situation on our official FB page, which was hacked today, and making every effort to stop the unauthorized posts.

Crayola eventully took back control of the page and posted this update on Twitter:
We don't condone the inappropriate & offensive content being posted to the fraudulent Crayola FB page & sincerely apologize to our fans.
