Justine Sacco, the head of PR for IAC, the parent company of Vimeo, Tinder, and OkCupid, tweeted something really cringeworthy a few hours ago:
— Justine Sacco (@JustineSacco) December 20, 2013 (https://twitter.com/JustineSacco/statuses/414052561248075776) **t good.
We first saw the tweet on Valleywag (http://valleywag.gawker.com/and-**w-a-funny-holiday-joke-from-iacs-pr-boss-1487284969/@sambiddle). IAC just reached out to Valleywag with an official statement: (http://valleywag.gawker.com/and-**w-a-funny-holiday-joke-from-iacs-pr-boss-1487284969/@sambiddle)
This is an outrageous, offensive comment that does **t reflect the views and values of IAC. Unfortunately, the employee in question is unreachable on an international flight, but this is a very serious matter and we are taking appropriate action.
