My favorite of all time is when Pakistan's PTCL (an entity functionally
equivalent to Centurylink or Verizon, they're the LEC) decided to announce
Youtube's ipv4 prefixes... Not only did they mess things up for everyone 
but
they also DDoSed themselves at their international transport capacity in 
and
out of Karachi via submarine routes.
