pizza chain had prepared an internet coupon promotion which would let you get a free medium pizza if you ordered online and typed in the word "bailout". ... promotion never got the green light ... Then Monday night, someone with a lot of time on his or her hands started typing in all kinds of words into the Domino online ordering site, including "bailout". He/she stumbled upon the test promotion, got the free pizza, then spread the word all over the web via CNET.
