The fine folks at News 14 in Raleigh, NC had a great idea: put up a web interface for folks to submit school and business closing announcements during a recent storm.
However, some screening of those might have been prudent.

I appreciate your devotion to your team...'Canes aren't likely playoff-bound, but stuff like this makes a season a bit amusing...Then again, I know how that is. The papers here get about eight pages per day of "RANGERS SUCK".
Instead, I just root for a boring local team that doesn't draw fans, but has a killer goaltender and wins a lot. :)
Found the link to this post via risks.org -- indeed, it is a great demonstration of the risks of insecure, unmoderated forms. Heh. I also loved these entries: All Your BaseWindows 32 Exception Error
Oh good lord that's funny. How did they ever not know that was going to happen?
