Judging by a recent round of defensive, hyper-literal tweets from the official MLGW account, it would appear that Memphis’ public utility has hired in Drax the Destroyer to man social media during this period of post-storm crisis. Drax, the blunt alien powerhouse who struggles to understand metaphor and most figurative language, responded negatively to a tweet by Memphis newsie Joyce Peterson. When Peterson accurately explained how “45,000 customers without power” means more than 45,000 people remain in the dark, Drax answered back sharply: “This tweet is unequivocally wrong and malicious.”
After a number of Twitter uses invited Drax to munch a chill pill MLGW’s guest tweeter doubled down on his initial pronouncement: “Our customer is not a house or an apartment building. Our customers of record are people who have families, employees, and customers.” 
While it’s cool of MLGW to bring in such a big celebrity and card-carrying Guardian of the Galaxy, the PR gig may not be a good fit for Drax’s skill set, which is basically destroying things.
Insert your own “covfefe” joke here.
