Has there ever been a case on FR where someone posted something like this and anything actually came of it?

Well, yes. A few years ago I became Master of the Universe.

My guess is that it is Michael Jackson related.

Angry mobs. Thriller. Halloween. Stuff like that.

It happened once, but I missed it because I was in the shower.

Not exactly the same, but Buckhead did post on a "Live" thread, that the documents CBS posted on their website regarding George Bush's National Guard service were fraudulent.

It was the "60 Minutes" thread covering Dan Rather's interview with Bill Burkett and others over the documents. I was on that thread that night. It was awesome.

There was the case of Matt Drudge hyping some big earth-shattering story all week, saying that on "Thursday" he's going to break something big. Then, on "Thursday" morning, someone from FR figured out Drudge's filename convention and posted a link to Drudge's story before he "turned it on," so to speak, breaking it here hours before Drudge did.

That story was the Jesse Jackson Love Baby story.

Last August, jokyfo posted in Breaking News just a few hours after the Kenyan Clown's acceptance speech this article: Plane just landed at Hook Field outside Dayton at 10:18 EDT---Gov. Palin?

This was about 9 hours before the McCain campaign announced that Governor Palin was his choice for the vice presidential slot (for instance, this article John McCain Selects Alaska Governor Sarah Palin [From the McCain official site].)

In a word: No. But some of the replies are fun.
