I did not catch this on Sunday, but I read about it online today. You can still get to it and use it via the 2nd link. The youtube video is a riot.

**Google Maps 8-bit Version** -- Bowing to market pressure, Google has
ported Google Maps to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES),
producing an NES cartridge with a modem for connecting to Google’s
servers and providing an intro video that provides valuable
troubleshooting advice (blow on the cartridge to remove bugs). Be
sure to give it a try — Google Maps for NES is fully functional!

Actually my favorite was from Westjet one of the local Airlines here in Canada.

Yeah, no carrier's had the 'intestinal fortitude' to actually introduce entirely child free flights - but Malaysian Airlines has done it for the first-class cabin.
