The premise of this movie reminds me of one time when I was working at McDonnell Douglas in the early 1990s on a project that was a test facility for space station related stuff. There was a database and you could enter issues for various problems that testing found. As test data, I added a bunch of issues filed by a certain "Mr. W. E. Coyote", complaining about various defects in rocket powered roller skates and other such nonsense. Somebody in management found it, and I got called on the carpet and told to delete it all. Jeez. No sense of humor at all.
