Title: Looking for news station prank.
Post by: Naem on August 23, 2004, 11:55 PM
About a year ago there was a huge storm in a city, causing flooding. A news station allowed people to go to their website and submit the names and addresses of businesses that were closing due to the storm, and they would be broadcast on live TV... well, needless to say, people got a little "creative" with their business titles.

If anyone has the link to this I would really appreciate it.

I remember that too.  I think it was posted on fark.com - you might try searching the archives there.

That's the story, it says the links go to screenshots, but the link is dead.  Sorry.
