Some of the most infamous hashtags came from Twitter accounts managed by people who's minds are not in the gutter.
The problem with that is the internet is swarming with warped minds, and they are quick to spot alternative meanings to acronyms and unintended phrases because someone failed to capitalize certain letters.
Given the nature of microblogs and social media, word travels at a ruthlessly fast pace, here are a handful of funny examples:

Businesses are a bunch of lemmings that throw money at the latest trend without really understanding why, as Facebook's popularity soared, marketing went into overdrive in an effort to get people to like and follow them on Facebook.

The hashtag was hijacked, a search for #McDStories generally returns stories and pictures McDonald's doesn't want their customers to see.

4chan Troll pranks
Anything that becomes popular on the internet will eventually be exploited by trolls and hashtags are no exception to the rule.
Successful pranks are often reposted by thousands of unsuspecting users, reported by the media that is gullible and fails to do its homework, and sometimes these creative antics will invoke a response from a well-known celebrity.
This is possible due to the viral nature of microblogs and social media, where misinformation travels at the speed of a mouse click.
When Justin Bieber got caught smoking a joint, nobody was surprised, but that didn't stop trolls from pretending to be outraged, posting fake pictures of them cutting themselves in protest.

Hashtag Jamerson
Hashtag Jamerson is the result of parents who spend their lives on Facebook and have absolutely no common sense, and yes that's the name of a baby girl.
Quite possibly they hated their unborn child with a burning passionate, so much that a late termination of pregnancy wasn't sadistic enough.
No, these two want the pleasure of seeing their daughter getting verbally slaughtered at school on a daily basis, at home she'll be left alone in a small room while they play Farmville.
If we're fortunate, Hashtag Jamerson will set out to achieve a new [[high score]] in a decade or so.
