How not to terrorize the Internet
A funny story from the famous German News program of the ARD.
They put up a poll on their website to ask if the tour of the Olympic torch should be cancelled.
In order to influence the results of this poll, after a few days, no less then 7600 links to the ARD poll were discovered on the internet, almost exclusively in Chinese websites. Huge amounts of votes came in via these links.
The irony; the ending date of the poll was well before all these links appeared. :-)
