Seriously.

I don’t _think_ there’s any malicious code there, but if you’re worried, don’t go. It’s nothing fancy, just an ASCII skull and an “American Idiot” WMA file playing.

I wonder how long before it gets fixed?

I never visited that website before it was hacked. I kind of like it’s current state, though.

Seems to be just fine now. Was it “reverse hacked” where it’s doing just what it’s publishers told it to do?

I’m sure it was all mavericky there for a bit. . . but it looks fixed now.

Anyone got a screen shot of it in its hacked state?
