Yeh, I heard about that at work last night. It spread on *chan, and thus cost Domino's like for a millionty hundreds of bucks.
Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position.
Such a heavy burden now to be "The One".
Born to bear and read to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see.

I don't believe that there were even 11,000 people on *chan that night. Even if there were, what makes you think that many people would order a pizza? But oh well, you never know. I just assumed this was an April Fools joke from Domino's.

Get a free one-topping pizza from Domino's
by Rick Broida
Because pizza is the single greatest food ever devised by man, I interrupt your regularly scheduled tech bargains to bring you this: Domino's is offering a free medium one-topping pizza. (See updates below.)
The catch, if you can call it that, is that you'll have to hop in the car; it's carry-out only. Here's how to get the deal:
1. Head to the Domino's Pizza site.
2. Click Order, then type in your address to find stores near you.
3. Choose the store you want, then create your order for a medium one-topping pizza.
4. Use coupon code BAILOUT. Presto: free, free, free!
I'm not sure when the code expires (could be today), so if you're hungry, act now. And, yeah, I'll be the first to admit that Domino's isn't exactly the greatest pizza on the planet, but are you really gonna argue with free? Didn't think so.
Update: Sorry folks. Looks like the promo's over. Guess Domino's ran out of "bailout" money.
Update #2: Spoke to a Domino's rep, who told me the free-pizza code was created internally for a promotion that was never actually green-lit. A customer happened to enter the code (Domino's has been heavily advertising their "bailout" promotion), told the world, and here we are. Apparently the company honored nearly 11,000 of the coupons before pulling the plug. Stay tuned: The Cheapskate is trying to arrange a consolation prize!
Update #3: EXCLUSIVE FOR CHEAPSKATE READERS: Enter code SWEET with any online order to get a free order of Cinnastix! This is a one-time-per-account offer, good for carryout or delivery. (Each store has a minimum-order requirement if you choose delivery.) Bigtime kudos to Domino's for extending this "cinnamon branch" after what appears to have been an honest mistake.

I stand corrected. Good Lord. I bet Domino's is highly pissed

.I'm certain someone in the tech field got the axe for implementing an idea before approval.
