Years ago (early 2000s), Dilbert.com used to have a "Lazy Inventor" section of the website. "All Talk, No Funding." This was fine for a while, then someone suggested "child free days [at restaurants and stores]".

You would have thought he'd suggested clubbing baby seals. The shitstorm it generated was legendary. I'm pretty sure that was a direct contribution to them disabling that feature a few months later.

I found it in the Wayback machine! Unfortunately, it only grabbed the first few pages of comments, and the spice was only starting at that point.
