Reddit, Sears, Grills That Cook Babies... And The Streisand Effect
Okay, so there was some munged up code on a Sears web page. It read Human Cooking -> Grills to Cook Babies and More -> Body Part Roaster.
Which is kind of funny, kind of sick but mostly harmless. When the story was posted on Reddit, Sears exerted great pressure and forced Reddit to remove the thread. The removal caused a massive uproar and, rather than just fixing the exploit and moving on, Sears has opened a great big can of Stupid on themselves.
Learn from other's mistakes, Sears. This could have easily been avoided if you'd just dealt with it.
Rule #280 is Just Fix It and Don't Make Such a Fuss
