Erecting a playground statue of [Spiderman with a boner][1] (possibly NSFW). And leaving it up for a year.
[1]: http://comicsalliance.com/spider-man-statue-south-korea-gigantic-boner-eunsuk-yoo/After erecting a statue of Spider-Man in a South Korean shopping center, artist Eunsuk Yoo
met stiff resistance from the people who run it. It seems they took a
long, hard look at the spectacular piece after suspicions were aroused
about its suitability. The statue has now been yanked off, despite being
impressively hung on that wall for almost a year. Yoo may feel he got
the shaft, but one hopes he understands the thrust of the mall’s
decision.I see what they did there.

No, we're talking about misanthrophic miscreants like me that appreciate the amusement of polls with thousands of entries and the temporary pain inflicted on other human beings as a result to compensate for our own many failings.

Forcing your employees to worship an onion:
Then getting sued by the EEOC for sacking three people who didn't want to worship an anthropomorphological (not anthropomorphical) vegetable:
...coerced employees to participate in ongoing religious activities since 2007. These activities included group prayers, candle burning, and discussions of spiritual texts. The religious practices are part of a belief system that the defendants' family member created, called "Onionhead." Employees were told wear Onionhead buttons, pull Onionhead cards to place near their work stations and keep only dim lighting in the workplace. None of these practices was work-related. When employees opposed taking part in these religious activities or did not participate fully, they were terminated.
Heard about it here. Worth a read if you have 5-10 mins to spare:
So blinded by inspiration at this revelation was she, that she registered a not-for-profit organisation - The Harnessing Happiness Foundation’, which according to the New York times has 501c3 accreditation, meaning it is entitled to receive tax free donations – though if you or any US reader can find it on the IRS site...
...
Undaunted by these technical details, The Happiness Foundation spread news of insight gained by peeling its Onion – motto apparently is: Peel it – feel it – heal it. I am not making this up – it comes directly from ‘Onionhead’s’ very own web site. Soon they were marketing Onionhead badges, producing Onionhead inspirational postcards, and laying down rules which Onion worshipers must follow or be excommunicated.

Oakland. Just, Oakland.
The episodes are the latest in a spate of holdups and burglaries targeting the media in Oakland, some in the middle of the day. In one incident, a robber grabbed a camera that was being used for a live noon broadcast.
But this is probably the first incident in recent memory in which journalists have reported being victimized right outside Oakland police headquarters.

Looks fine to me; what's up with it?
I went to the status as normal, and it has the "statuses" thing in the URL. Oneboxing didn't work. I remembered a previous discussion about this and changed it to "status" in the URL and it worked.

Renaming all your company's "coordinators", "managers", "directors" etc as various types of "leader", then discovering that one dictionary definition of the word "leader" is "the piece of blank tape at the beginning of a cassette that you can't record anything on".

Okay, the animation is fine IMHO, but the hell is up with the "r"? How does that fit?

Installing Arch Linux on a production server.
Seriously, every 3 or so updates something breaks. First it was Apache / PHP combo with it's prefork silliness, now it turns out I managed to bump into incompatibility between MySQL and MariaDB client libraries that's making my application fail inserts. And they removed MySQL from repos completely.
At least Debian always shows me big honking warning, and asks me if I want it to try and fix what it can, with a list of things it won't even try. On the other hand, it's hunt and peck on Arch. All I have is a list of millions of commits to thousands of packages. Good luck!
If it weren't in production I'd reinstall the whole thing this instant and be done with it forever.

Installing a bleeding-edge rolling-release distro in production. What could possibly go wrong?
(I've only had two cases where an arch update borked my system: Once when a kernel update introduced a bug in the TUN driver which rendered VPN connections completely broken, and once when the new kernel refused to boot (Thankfully I still had an older kernel lying around as a workaround for the TUN bug)).

You should ask the guy who installed it. Because he never had anything break. On his home computer. Where he isn't running any server software other than SSH. Maybe.

4chan also has some strong opinions on Arch Linux users

Let me guess: 3.14.x, where x<4?
-
Yep. I usually VPN into my box from my smartphone to watch some movies or episodes, which I share over HTTP, during long train rides (which I have fairly often). Reverting to an older kernel was a task with critical priority.

That's what you get for using irrational version numbers.
