There Are No Giraffes In Ghana, Delta

World Cup fever has taken over newspapers, the radio, TV, the Internet,... and social media. Delta was looking to join in on the festivities with this Tweet:



Along with hundreds of favorites and retweets, the airline also received some criticism. Why? The photo that was chosen to "represent" Ghana... There are no giraffes living in the country.

Before you go looking for the Tweet, it's already been deleted.

Delta Tweeted a simple apology Tweet in response to the criticism.
