More likely to go viral in that case, a headline saying "Walkmans sometimes record over your tapes!"

When I was about 10, someone lent the school a tape of Holst's The Planets for a school play, one of the other students pressed the record button, and shortly thereafter the teacher played to the class a recording of me shouting "no stop" as I rushed for the stop button having seen what they'd done just a moment too late.

Now imagine that happening by undocumented feature, where nobody knows it would happen before it does.
