New York Comic Con Tweeting Unsolicited Messages From Attendee's Accounts

Polygon:

Within hours of the show opening its doors, members of the press, professionals and attendees discovered that their Twitter accounts were automatically sending out messages praising the show. Among those whose accounts tweeted without their knowledge were my own, IGN’s Greg Miller, Ain’t It Cool News’ Harry Knowles, Attract Mode’s Matt Hawkins and, according to Twitter, hundreds of others.

The pre-written tweets — more than 500 of them — were sent out on accounts shortly after the doors opened. They included the phrases “So much pop culture to digest! Can’t. handle. the. awesome. #NYCC,” “I can’t get enough #NYCC!” and “So much to see, so much to do! #NYCC 2013 I love you!”

So scummy.
