A bizarre tweet from the British news agency Sky News simply reading “Colin is here” garnered almost 6000 Retweets and 2000 ‘favourites’ from around the world.

The tweet is still up on the Sky News handle and is gathering popularity at the speed of light. There are even attempts to create a trending #ColinWasHere hashtag.

We’re not sure if the handle has been hacked, but it is quite significant that the tweet is still up, and that nothing new has been posted on to the Twitter handle since then.

The Syrian Electronic Army in the recent past has been accused of hacking social media feeds of a number of well known Twitter handles, such as AP, The Guardian and even for some bizarre reason, the satire news agency ‘The Onion’

Here are some of the responses to the Sky News tweet:
