Colonel Angus Chicken!

News 14 in North Carolina had an online system where people could post school closings, etc that would scroll on the screen. The postings all got reviewed before they went live, but after they'd been reviewed/approved, the system was open for the original poster to go back and change the copy, so you could essentially submit something benign, then go back and monkey with it. Screen shots of the results.

Really funny. I think the posters showed amazing restraint.

Dont worry XQUZYPHYR, I almost snorted my coffee when I read that one too. a classic hack if ever there was one. Bravo! We should see more of this! The Tutone reference was an easy one, Mike Hunt was juvenile, but I dont get the Colonel Angus Chicken reference. And could someone explain the Zia Naik one?

Colonel Angus is another juvenile one, i believe it's supposed to be cunnilungus. *cough* i don't get Zia Naik though...

internal.....Marcus Melvin, Scooter Sherrill, and Levi Watkins are players on the NC State basketball team. "Wi When Sun" = "We win on Sunday", when they were scheduled to play Duke (they did win).

internal, Melvin, Sherrill & Watkins are players on the NC State Basketball Team. Wi Win Sun was referring to that Sundays game with North Carolina.

I can't believe it really took 2-3 years for this particular honour system to break down. Most people are way too mature.

Awesome stuff. These people had more restraint than I would have. I'd have definately gone for a 'war of the worlds' effect. thanks for the laugh.

It's amazing that no viewers called in with complaints. Maybe it shows how most of us tune those things out. I wish someone would have hacked our local weather stations during the last winter storm. Geez, you'd think it was the War of the Worlds based on their coverage.

I liked the Daycare center, but with the TV showing a surgery. Should I have caught more in that?

Yes, Peter H, this incident clearly demonstrates why Matt will NEVER allow users to edit anything after it's been posted.

Very funny stuff! But I have to wonder whether anyone who didn't feel like going to work that day ever posted their employer's name. (But it still wouldn't be as funny as "Bring 'Em Young -- contact R. Kelly for details".)

Tutone Industries? Colonel Angus Chicken? This will help with the Tutone one (call 867-5309, ask for Jenny) http://groups.google.com/groups?q=jenny+867-5309&start=10&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&selm=3614C6D0.241E9002%40yahoo.com&rnum=18 The other was discussed above but it is an oral sex reference. As for Zia Naik's, I first read it as "Snake's" but it might be a reference to naked.
