I (not so) patiently explained to them the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was being streamed live, and their users might get a weeeeeee bit upset if the feed suddenly went away.

I remember fielding similar abuse calls who insisted that they were being attacked "BY F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET <http://f.root-servers.net/> ON SOURCE PORT 53".
