I'd love it if the OP would clarify what kinds of things are and aren't allowed. I voted to reopen even without that, since I thought it was an interesting question.

Every rule has exceptions, and judging from the voting clearly a lot of people are ok with allowing this specific exception to the rules.

I just wish the 100 votes were spread out over more days. I answered because I personally thought it was interesting, and I'm not really a rep whore, but still. :P
