Here's one! http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/dashcon

The Dashcon Ball Pit: Considered the "primary attraction" at the July 2014 Dashcon, which was a complete failure due to mismanagement, misallocation of funds, and and miscommunication. Some Dashcon attendees pointed out that one of the most memorable attractions at the convention was a colorful children’s ball pit in an otherwise mostly empty room. Following the cancellation of the Welcome to Night Vale appearance, rumors began to spread on Tumblr that the convention organizers were trying to appease the angry attendees by offering “an extra hour in the ball pit” in compensation. As the weekend progressed, the #Dashcon and #Ball Pit tags accumulated large numbers of posts on Tumblr, in addition to several side rumors surrounding the ball pit such as its deflation, it being urinated in, or having a child conceived in it.

Effects: The ball pit has a tendency to produce the same unfortunate circumstances that accompanied the convention it was used for. Under various different circumstances thanks to some minor probability manipulation, money will be lost, plans will be ruined, and deplorable actions will occur in and around the inflatable "tub of fun". Please keep away from fandom members and artifacts of all kinds, especially anything relating to Doctor Who, Supernatural, and Sherlock (BBC).
