Reminds me of a story when we were kids, on the tubes in London, one day i noticed that a guard left the key in the tannoy and walked off briefly, I was on the train standing there with a friend, I told him to hold the doors, jumped off, ran and got the key and jumped back on just in time to be whisked off. The fun we had with that key was sooooo, funny and naughty. You should see the strops that people throw when standing at a platform only to hear 'Due to a '' there will be no more trains tonight on this line, please find another way method to get home, we're very sorry for any inconvenience.' On mass over 100 or so people throw a real tantrum and waddle off out of the platform on their way, then as fate has it, as they have all just about left, the train rolls in and they all start running back on mass. You got to see it to appreciate it. Alas all the fun ended when we lost the key a few years later (on a train no doubt). Funny though

People who were innocently checking out a video game site at work got into trouble for looking at porn, and all the readership of Kotaku ever got was an apology from the editors of Kotaku... not a word from the Gizmodo guys. Sounds like these guys need to find out what its like to loose your job for being a jackass.
