Curling team accidentally gives Delta a PR headache

The gold-medal-winning U.S. curling team got a little lesson in the dangers of Twitter before heading back to Minnesota and a heroes' welcome in Duluth. It was all good for the fellas, tweeting to Delta to see if a gold medal could get a guy an upgrade.
