Hacked by Mr Bump
« on: April 02, 2009, 08:31:54 AM »

So we appear to have been hacked by Mr Bump, a character from the Mr Men series of children's books.



This is not a deliberate stunt by PWH in the vein of "Error 666" - someone has genuinely hacked into the site to replace one of our newest logo images with the blue man in bandages. There's no plot here to artificially "invade" the forum with Mr Tickle, Mr Uppity and Mr Topsy-Turvy. Someone actually did this for real. That's what makes it so absurd.

Yesterday I added five new photos to the set of pictures that randomly appear in the logo. About an hour and a half ago, the first of these - a shot of Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper from WrestleMania - transformed into Mr Bump. Which is ironic, since neither wrestler has taken many bumps for years.

New file permissions prevent me from fixing it right away, but our webhosts have been contacted and things will be resolved soon (edit: fixed now). So I took the above screenshot to capture the surreal moment of madness from someone with far too much time on their hands, but excellent taste in infant literature.

It took me forever to get the first set of images into my adblocker, thanks for adding more.

That's how the world is.

We're such unique and self-aware creatures,yet we can't be the paradigm or standard that goes above simply being an animal,we find ways to be worse than them.

Funny how when it's the poor that steal,it's theivery,but when it's the rich that commit the same atrocity on a much more massive level,it's business as usual.

Money makes the world go around...until it spins straight off of its own axis.

To theists, God is the clutch that sets everything into gear. To atheists, God is the imaginary crutch that sets everything into fear.

We're both devils. Wanna know which one you are?

Matter comes and writes the play,for it's a messed up ID. Forget the keys in your hand that lock up liberty for the benefit of divinity,for if not,you are not self,without anew to be.

Evangelicals and dominionists are somewhere in between nuts and asshole. They're perineum cancers. They're twernt tumors. Because if they twernt there,they wouldn't be a pain in America's ass. And they wish to wipe their excrement with the Constitution.

Civility and common sense are the first causalities to make room for large egos and larger wallets.
