Line 101:
** One website ran some Billy Mays videos as its "Link of the Day"... about twelve hours before he died. The administrator was freaked out when he heard the news.
** The Chicago Tribune ran an article about the FCC discussing a law that would limit the volume of television commercials. The author of the article stated that "THAT OXICLEAN GUY SHOULD PUT A SOCK IN IT." This article was published just hours before the world learned that Billy Mays truly had put a sock in it the night before.
** [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=haThyjEnkuA This YTP] is no longer as funny after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube_headquarters_shooting this shooting], which had a similar motivation to Billy's in the video (complaints about Youtube censorship).
* A few hours after the ''Columbia'' disaster, the Associated Press website had an article on its return. The article described the events of the Columbia's safe landing and the happy comments of the crew in detail. It is unknown whether the false details were placeholders meant to be replaced after real details were learned or outright fabrication. Either way, the article was pulled so fast that its head spun.
* A What Would Tyler Durden Do thread [http://www.wwtdd.com/post.phtml?pk=2268 published in 2007] simply stated, "I predict Jett Travolta will die in the bath and be found by his caretaker at the end of 2008 due to Scientology. So sayeth the crystal ball." Yuck!
