CINCINNATI – The Domino's pizza chain has given away nearly 11,000 free pizzas because of a never-used promotion that a Web customer stumbled upon. Tim McIntyre, spokesman for Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Domino's, said Wednesday that the company had prepared an Internet coupon for an ad campaign that was considered in December but never activated.
McIntyre said somebody discovered that the code word "bailout" was good for a free medium pizza ordered online. The information quickly spread Monday night on the Web, until the code was deactivated Tuesday morning.
The owner of 14 Domino's locations in the Cincinnati area says his stores gave away more than 600 pies. Owner John Glass told The Cincinnati Enquirer that Domino's promised to reimburse him for the pizzas.

At least they didn't charge 90 percent tax and a double delivery fee like Congress would have.
Stupid on Domino's part, but stupider on the customer's part to think they'd actually get REAL pizzas by calling Domino's.

Every once in a great while, for some unknown reason, I crave a Dominos pizza. And after I eat it, I say to myself, "What the fu@k where you thinking?"

Let's see, 11,000 pizzas at @ $2 cost each for ingredients = $22,000 = Big whoop for the chain. Now , if they all came from just one or two locations, then I could see a problem for those franchise owners.
