United Airlines tries to get in on teen's viral nugget karma, ends up very badly burned.

This is Carter Wilkerson, the lucky teenager who managed to secure a year of free nuggets from Wendy's thanks to a metric ton of retweets.

As Wilkerson made his dreams come true, United Airlines tried to dip a toe in the world of positive PR.

If you remember the internet over the past month, you'll know that United's been on a losing streak since a brutal video of of David Dao getting dragged off one of their planes went viral. Since then, they've been accused of letting a rabbit die, making a woman pee in a cup, and sending a woman 3,000 miles in the wrong direction. And that's all on top of the leggings debacle from March.
