State Department Deletes Tweet Suggesting You re Not a 10 – The New York Times
Yes, the federal government had just awkwardly referred to ranking attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 10, while puncturing a fantasy of vacation travel: the possibility of romance. If you re unattractive here, the tweet seemed to imply, you re unattractive there. And you could be robbed.
That s apparently too cold even by the standards of the Internet.
