I have to laugh. A press release from the World Bank hit my inbox in the last couple of hours bearing the opening paragraph:

EMBARGOED: Not for news wire transmission, posting on websites, or any other media use until August 4, 2008 at 7pm in Washington DC (EDT), which is 23:00 UTC/GMT.

Just to recap, this was received at 5pm Washington time on August 1, 2008 (2100 UTC), 74 hours prior. I'll respect the embargo on the email, which is nothing earth-shattering anyway, but sheesh...
