* In 2011, Creator/{{Disney}} and Creator/{{Sony}} announced a deal that would see Disney give up their percentage of the gross on future ''Spider-Man'' films in exchange for Sony giving up their percentage of the gross on future ''Spider-Man'' merchandise. At the time it was seen as an incredibly stupid move on Disney's part (given how lucrative [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy the film series]] had been up to that point), but it ended up turning out like this - if the new ''Spider-Man'' [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries film series]] was a hit, then Disney would make a ton of money off of merchandising; if it flopped, then Sony had no merchandise money to bail them out and Disney would have a huge bargaining chip when it came time to renegotiate the contract. Apparently Sony executives didn't see this coming: when the company's emails were hacked and leaked in December of 2014, it was not only revealed that Sony was losing money on the new ''Spider-Man'' films, but also that Sony's chief Amy Pascal was pretty shocked when she found out just ''how'' much money Disney was making on ''Spider-Man'' merchandise regardless of how well the movies did.

* Jack Thompson ''thought'' he had done this when he said that he would donate $10,000 to a charity of Paul Eibeler's choosing on the condition that a video game be created in which the player mows down members of the video game industry. His reasoning was thus: if such a game were made, then it would prove his point about video games being nothing more than violent MurderSimulators, while if the game is not made, then he could say that gamers care more about their own reputations than about the needy. It backfired on him when such a game ''was'' made, but he [[MovingTheGoalposts refused to give the money to the charity because of a technicality]]. Which was promptly sidestepped by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, the creators of ''PennyArcade'' and founders of Child's Play, a charity dedicated to donating toys and games to children's hospitals, who stepped in to donate the ten grand themselves on his behalf. Thompson's attempts to have Seattle Police Department and the FBI investigate Jerry and Mike on shaky grounds afterwards didn't accomplish anything, [[OutGambitted besides perhaps making him look even more like a tremendous fool]].
