UK Navy to end submarine goat experiments (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7230867.stm) — because the Royal Navy had an urgent defense-related requirement for information that could only be obtained by squeezing goats.
Scottish Government drafts Cat Welfare Code (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/07/cat_welfare/) — before the government set us straight we had never imagined that cats were carnivores who therefore required a diet rich in meat, and that if you keep an indoor cat you might have to play with it.
Diebold voting machine [master] key copied from photo at company's own online store! (http://www.bradblog.com/?p=4066#more-4066) — because you know the security and integrity of your vote means a lot to us.
MySpace: No place for Atheists? (http://www.secularstudents.org/node/1933) — because if you read those teeny-tiny terms and conditions they say they're happy to discriminate against anyone they don't like. (MySpace is a safe haven for bigots. Boycott MySpace!)

I'm going to go and have a lie down, now.
