Walmart is getting blasted for a now-deleted tweet that seems to make fun of late 'Fast and the Furious' actor Paul Walker

The superstore tweeted on Thursday afternoon, "Hey, Paul Walker. Click it, or ticket. 🚨."a user with the handle @iamlaurenmiles. The user, responding to a tweet about Walmart's Pillsbury offerings, tweeted a gif of cars speeding through traffic with the caption, "*me racin to the nearest Wally World*."Walmart/Twitter

Walmart's response tweet was likely a reference to a line from the Comedy Central show "Workaholics," or a reference to actor Paul Walker's character from the "Fast and the Furious" franchise. in a car crash in 2013. The episode of "Workaholics" where the line in question was said aired before Walker died.

Walmart did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment, but the tweet was deleted shortly after we reached out. Before it was deleted, some people pointed out that Walmart's use of the phrase failed to achieve the desired outcome.

Walmart is trash for doing this.

So THIS WalmartInc responds to. I got crickets when pointing out flaws in store checkout methods.

Why he will always be remembered as fast driver from making movies He didn’t drive in NASCAR but we all know he loves to drive fast from a movie series that’s pretty cool

I don’t see the problem with this. They were just referring to the movies. Not his actual death, why do people nowadays take everything so far. God I wanna go back to when people used to take Jokes instead of having a stick up their ass.

Not cool Walmart especially for someone who can’t come back on your tweet

edgy and witty, i like it

Did he have relationships with underage girls?

I notice they didn't make a Tracy Morgan joke

Not sure why they apologized. Being insensitive is par for the course for walmart.

That’s very insensitive
