Here's a cracker from work. I still have the evidence, somewhere. So here's the scenario. I work for a major US telco, and I'm a techie. So I get to hear about techie issues... :)

The CEO was planning to give an all-hands video broadcast from his HQ conference room on a certain day. Being that he was quite an unforgiving type, we techies wanted to make sure that everything was working before his broadcast. So the day before, we set up all the videoconferencing stuff; cameras, monitors and so on.

Well, this system was a PictureTel system, with special auto-follow, auto-zoom cameras with directional mikes. The deal was that the cameras in the room would automatically swing to the person speaking, and then zoom in on them. Kind of cool. We tested this all out, and made sure that all the folks around the world could see, and it was all working for them, too. So when we were all done, we just switched off the TV in the conference room and turned off the lights as we walked out.

Well, it so happened that - much later that evening - a couple decided that they'd make a little whoopee on the conference table. Sneaking into the conference room, they turned on all the lights and stripped, and then started some quite energetic sex at, and on, the head of the table.

Well, this was at about 2 am Eastern time - a perfect time of day for all the folks in Europe to be getting into the office and start preparing for the big meeting. And all the folks in Asia-Pac were waiting in the office...

Given the auto-zoom cameras, it didn't take someone long to go "hey, guys - check this out" and a techie in Geneva to hit "record"... Said techie made it into a Quicktime movie and had the link out to his mates within ten minutes of them finishing. Then the link started to make the rounds, and was around the company by the time the broadcast started the next day.

It turned out that this couple was married, but not to each other... In fact, each was a quite-senior manager married to another BigTelco employee. Each of their spouses got the link to the video, the next morning...
