People are having their Twitter accounts automatically suspended for tweeting the word 'Memphis'.

Dozens of users have reported having their posts almost immediately removed and their accounts blocked for sharing the word.

And it appears that those who have dared to tweet the name have received a message informing them they have been locked out for 12 hours.

Where Memphis' name had been, it now reads: "This tweet violated the Twitter rules."

It's not quite clear why it is going on, and Twitter are yet to comment on the bizarre happening.

If I were on Twitter I'd post pictures of the Memphis Bell, landmarks around Memphis, everything.

Then again, it will probably come out that this whole thing is merely a genius move by the Memphis tourism board to get a bunch of free advertising.

Conspiracy theory - they ran the script too early, and they weren’t supposed to shut down discussion until the city was “pacified”. Or until after the Big Quake cut off communications. Because having alternative theories is always useful. Doubles the chances of being right.

There’s a reason Twitter starts with twit. I’m convinced they’re all twits.

There is speculation that this has something to with a unknown incident at the feed store in down town Memphis, Texas.

According to “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” Dracula is also buried in Memphis. It’s a really chinzy place in a tent adorned with cheap Christmas lights. You’ll know it’s Dracula by the “D” on the headstone.

A number of accounts that Tweeted the word “Memphis” were temporarily limited due to a bug. It’s been fixed and the accounts have now been restored. We’re sorry this happened.

The ladies of the town are right now discussing the gossip and rumors of who did what at who's house.

May have been that new teacher hired last Fall.

Or the young Couple that bought the Parson place.

I don’t doubt it. There were a bunch of Dracula looking faggots that hanged around downtown back in the 70’s.
