Autodesk Accidentally Sends Out Hogwarts Acceptance Emails to Customers

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I thought it was kinda weird when I got this email. I mean, I'm not even a Wizard!

It's not a spoofed / phishing message or anything, someone in the marketing department just fucked up.

I worked IT with a guy that sent out a company wide email to sell nutritional supplements. That was not accidental though.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I did this fuckup when I was 25 at one of the first professional jobs I had. All of our company clients got an email with the lyrics to the ThunderCats song.
The engineering manager was upset at me, but nothing came out of it.

And this is why you never put live customer data on a test server, and never connect a mail server to it.

The worst I've seen was waaaaaay back in 2000 - I was working for a fairly crap web dev company and we were replacing an old site that used frames. So our designer who is a complete moron decided to make a placeholder page with "bollocks bollocks bollocks" written all over it, unbeknown to me, and put it in the site, but of course we didn't see it because we were using the non-frames version. Uploaded it, client has the frameset page cached and one frame points to the bollocks page. The client was unimpressed but miraculously nobody got fired.
