Today's WTF moment is more of a prediction.
Yesterday, A Rod of the NY Yankees admited to using steriods while playing in Texas.

This comes a fews days after Michael Phelps apologized for smoking some pot.
Micheal Phelps of course has been crucified by the public and some of his sponsors.

Here's my prediction:
A Rod will sail through this "incident" fairly smoothly using the arguement, himself and by others, that everybody in baseball is doing it anyway.

My personal feelings are if you are caught or admit to using steriods while in any sport? You should have your ass kicked out for life. Any records you accumulated while in said sport should be taken out of the books.

Software glitch leads to 5-cent gas in Dutch town
Mon Feb 9, 1:10 pm ET

AMSTERDAM – An unmanned gas station began offering customers gas for 1 euro cent per liter (five US cents a gallon) — a discount of more than 99 percent — due to a glitch that occurred around midnight.

"Most people were home in bed, so it could have been worse," Piet-Hein Bogaers, director of the company that operates the station in the Dutch town of Genderenm, Vollenhoven Olie BV, said Monday.

As word of the deal spread, business boomed at the station, 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of Amsterdam.

Bogaers said that, by the time the mistake was fixed Saturday morning, customers were lined up to buy gas. Many had even called to alert the company.

"They were saying, 'This can't be right,'" he said.

It wasn't. Bogaers declined to say how much money Vollenhoven lost but hundreds of liters (gallons) were sold at the discounted price.

"I guess we can consider it good publicity, even if it wasn't intentional," he said.
