God Bless human errors. The local ABC News affiliate for Los Angeles just tweeted a weather update (http://twitter.com/abc7weather), complete with a link to the station's website. One problem: whoever runs the Twitter account accidentally linked to PORN instead. Talk about a hairy forecast (zinger!).
There's a good chance all will be deleted soon, but don't worry, I have both a screen grab AND the offending link, which is VERY NSFW (that means not safe for work).

UPDATE: It appears as though ABC has removed the offending tweet. Still was pretty funny though for the few hours it was up...
UPDATE 2: Franklin Avenue seems to have isolated the problem: for whatever reason, ABC accidentally dropped the "4" at the end of the tinyurl. You see, http://tinyurl.com/8jrgm4 directs to the very safe for work KABC webpage. Lose the "4," and, well, you get a whole lot of anus. The perils of a poor executed cut-and-paste...

Um, thanks?
That place is going to be flooded with resumes because somebody's ass is so fired.
I should note that it IS possible the site was also hacked.
That's a bit unsavory. Still not that bad, though. I've seen worse (not by choice! The Intrawebz are tricky!!)
